How far will and should Democrats go to shed the "tax and spend" labels that have been foisted on them by the Republicans and the media? How many legitimate government services can they allow to be cut on their watch without facing a backlash? Do we need a Democratic party that simply echoes the Republicans on tax issues?
The George Bush tax cuts have already had severe impacts on state and local governments. Thus far Democrats in my state, Illinois, have basically accepted the cuts without protest and cut services.
Should Democrats be making more of an issue about this? Shouldn't we be braver about it?
