Neoconservative meets neoliberal?
Christian Century, Dec 13, 2005
NEOCONSERVATIVE MEETS NEOLIBERAL? The Republican Party has become "the party of Sam's Club, not just the country club," say Boss Douthat and Reihan Salam. But they think the COP is not doing enough to hold on to the working-class social conservatives who have made it the majority party.
Offering advice to party leaders, they say the key is to acknowledge voters' economic insecurity. Appealing to an "ownership society" or calling for a privatized Social Security system is a political dead end when your supporters are in debt and worried about losing their jobs. The alternative: "pro-family" policies such as increasing tax credits for dependent children, subsidizing wages of low-income single men (thereby making them "more desirable marriage partners") and making health insurance universal and affordable (Weekly Standard, November 14).
