KEY BLOCK----- Democracy: A Journal of Ideas ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spring Issue of <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org" track="on" >Democracy: A Journal of Ideas</a> Now Available Dear Democracy Reader, When we think about fighting poverty, we tend to think first and automatically of programs. Head Start. Job Corps. Medicare. Medicaid. But there's another way to fight poverty, and we've been doing it for decades, and arguably with more success than the programs: through the tax code. In our latest issue, <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/poverty-and-the-tax-code.php" track="on" >Jason Furman</a>, Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, unveils the Administration's new proposal in the continuing War on Poverty: an expansion of the earned-income and child tax credits. These tax credits have been instrumental in fighting poverty for decades, and have consistently won bipartisan support. The time has come, Furman argues, to expand them to benefit millions more. Next, four very sharp essays: First, from <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/the-voluntarism-fantasy.php" track="on" >Mike Konczal</a>, is a sharp critique of the conservative fantasy of voluntarism--that voluntary organizations and the private sector are enough to provide social insurance for the public. Next is <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/against-disengagement.php" track="on" >Brian Katulis</a> on the progressive drift toward disengagement on foreign policy--and why that's a dangerous thing. <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/community-of-equals.php" track="on" >Richard D. Kahlenberg</a> writes on an important American institution that rarely gets the attention it deserves: the community college system. Finally, <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/weak-tea.php" track="on" >Molly Ball</a> pens a response to our previous issue's symposium on the Tea Party. The reviews, as usual, are stellar. <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/the-dismal-art.php" track="on" >James Surowiecki</a> on the history of economic forecasting. <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/faithless.php" track="on" >Molly Worthen</a> on religion and the postwar intellectuals. <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/capital-hill.php" track="on" >Tom Perriello</a> on our affluent Congress. <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/brother-can-you-spare-a-tax-cut.php" track="on" >Vanessa Williamson </a> on grassroots movements for the one percent. And <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/the-other-americans.php" track="on" >Monica Potts </a> on poverty journalism.

Michael Tomasky Editor <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org" track="on" >SPRING 2014</a>: TABLE OF CONTENTS Features <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/poverty-and-the-tax-code.php" track="on" >Poverty and the Tax Code</a> by Jason Furman Tax credits have arguably done more to reduce poverty than programs have. It's time to expand them once again. <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/the-voluntarism-fantasy.php" track="on" >The Voluntarism Fantasy</a> by Mike Konczal Conservatives dream of returning to a world where private charity fulfilled all public needs. But that world never existed -- and we're better for it. <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/against-disengagement.php" track="on" >Against Disengagement</a> by Brian Katulis Today's progressives are often as muddled in their thinking about U.S. involvement in the world as conservatives are divided. <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/community-of-equals.php" track="on" >Community of Equals?</a> by Richard D. Kahlenberg Few elites give much thought to community colleges. But they educate 44 percent of our undergraduates -- and they need help. Response <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org/32/weak-tea.php" track="on" >Weak Tea</a> by Molly Ball Far from getting stronger, the Tea Party is now just another faction within the GOP, and an arriviste one at that. A response to the "Is the Party Over?" symposium.

Government-and tech companies-can do something about it. About Democracy: A Journal of Ideas Democracy: A Journal of Ideas is a quarterly journal of progressive thought edited by Michael Tomasky. E.J. Dionne Jr., of The Washington Post and the Brookings Institution, serves as Editorial Chair. Founded by Kenneth Baer and Andrei Cherny, Democracy serves as a place where ideas can be developed and important debates can be spurred. Democracy is the progressive analogue of conservative journals such as Commentary, the Public Interest, and the National Interest, and it showcases breakthrough thinking on the major domestic and foreign policy issues of our time. Democracy is sold in bookstores nationwide, and its readers-in print and at <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org" track="on" >www.democracyjournal.org</a>-can be found in 90 countries around the world. It was named Best New Publication by the Utne Independent Press Awards in 2008, and has been described by Politico as "what Obama's reading." ================================================================================ <a href="mailto:[email protected]" track="on" >[email protected]</a> <a href="http://www.democracyjournal.org" track="on" >http://www.democracyjournal.org</a> Share this email with a friend http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=nqukdxbab&m=1101360615949&ea=john.podesta%40gmail.com&a=1116843461207 This email was sent to [email protected] by [email protected].
