Chuck Schumer (Credit: AP/J. Scott Applewhite) More than eight months removed from last year’s election, the Democratic Party leadership unveiled a new economic agenda on Monday in hopes of rebranding the party as populist. With a brand new slogan that sounds vaguely familiar to a famous pizza commercial — “A Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Wages, Better Future” — the Democrats put forward several new policies that should please progressives, including increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour, a $1 trillion infrastructure program, and a plan to let Medicare negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies (all staples of Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign).
