President Joe Biden's expansive agenda, in part precipitated by the coronavirus pandemic, represents the toppling of decades of Democratic orthodoxy on the economy and the role of government
Even today, voters are sensitive to tax increases. But they are more receptive to them when Democrats frame the question as a matter of “making sure that the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share,” Lake said.— and that was before a pandemic that laid bare vast disparities in the workforce and ways in which Americans access health care and education.
Yet enthusiasm for big government isn’t coming just from the far left. Former California Gov. Jerry Brown — who called for an “era of limits” in the first of his three failed presidential campaigns, in 1976 — has been arguing for years that theand outsourcing on the American workforce, among other factors, would ultimately require government to assume a larger role in people’s lives.
The shift in public opinion about the role of government has been so pronounced that, in some ways, Biden and other Democratic politicians are only catching up to where the party’s voters already were. The desire for government to do more was polling better among Democrats even before Biden was elected.
