Krugman makes the case in Dean's ascendancy to party chair that he's really a moderate Democrat. He is moderate on fiscal matters, but not on social matters.
The country cannot long sustain its three-pronged tax-funded social programs Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Over the long haul, if left unchanged, these programs and our other rampaging expenditures will bring the country and its citizens to an ill-advised dependency on government that will sap the financial resources and human energy needed to compete in a world where China and India dominate.
Is that what we want?
