Framing a New Democratic Policy Vision: Common Sense for a Time of Crisis

"[Our economic and political rulers] have failed through their own stubborness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and have abdicated [their responsibility] ... They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish. ... They have shown no realization that what they call free enterprise means anything but greed." (Franklin D. Roosevelt)

This Framing of a Democratic Policy Vision begins by reminding us of the vision of Franklin D. Roosevelt who--after a Republican policy agenda of tax cuts for the wealthy and do-nothing government had driven the country into the depths of the Great Depression-- understood that control of the government of the country needed to be taken back from the corporations and placed into the hands of the people.
