The case for Bigger Government.

The European strategy, with levels of taxation and government spending roughly 8% to 10% of GDP higher than in the U.S., has many successes to show for it: less costly and more reliable health care, the elimination of hard-core poverty, solid educational achievements, and social services that ensure better care for children and more flexibility for mothers and the elderly.

As we sit in the hole dug with the tools of trickle-down economics, let's finally sober up. The true measure of our society's values is how well we care for those among us who are most vulnerable.
