Friedman endorses my meme

I don't know if it's a good thing, but NYT columnist Thomas Friedman has endorsed my meme ("A New Deal for a New Century").

In Friedman's latest column ...

One of the things that I can't figure out about the Bush team is why an administration that is so focused on projecting U.S. military strength abroad has taken such little interest in America's economic competitiveness at home - the underlying engine of our strength. At a time when the global economic playing field is being flattened - enabling young Indians and Chinese to collaborate and compete with Americans more than ever before - this administration is off on an ideological jag. It is trying to take apart the New Deal by privatizing Social Security, when what we really need most today is a New New Deal to make more Americans employable in 21st-century jobs.

(Emphasis added)

"A New Deal for a New Century" is the campaign slogan for the 2006, 2008 and beyond.  It is the slogan for universal health care, for a higher minimum wage, for fairer taxation, for fiscal sanity, for a more secure retirement, for economic growth, for a better America.
