Well, not quite from Democrats, but Dems are listening to the New America Foundation and other groups in Washington. David Broder‘s column today provides a taste from Maya Macguineas:
Her concepts include mandated programs of individual savings for the
predictable expenses of child-rearing, education and retirement; social
insurance for the costs of catastrophic but unforeseeable medical
bills; and some guarantee of safety-net income for people who, through
no fault of their own, lose jobs or retirement benefits because of
broad economic changes.
