All politicians favor economic growth.
That is a vintage Republican issue, but the Democrats aren't dummies. Many of them have learned that the old appeal to class warfare and other quasi-Marxist themes are pass . They too have thrown themselves onto the growth bandwagon. Bill Clinton's so-called New Democrats can take credit for grafting the rhetoric of growth to the policies of big government. This may come as a shock to Republicans and Democrats alike, but growth should be of no concern to the government.
