Johnny Coiffeur: Everything To Everyone

The fastidiously groomed John Edwards is making his prospective Presidential agenda disarmingly simple: he'll make everything perfectly wonderful in every way for all Americans (*cough* except taxpayers).

John Edwards says if he's elected president, he'll institute a New Deal-like suite of programs to fight poverty and stem growing wealth disparity. To do it, he said, he'll ask many Americans to make sacrifices, like paying higher taxes.

Cue the magical prosperity and peace-on-demand... now!

Edwards, a former Democratic senator from North Carolina, says the federal government should underwrite universal pre-kindergarten, create matching savings accounts for low-income people, mandate a minimum wage of $9.50 and provide a million new Section 8 housing vouchers for the poor. He also pledged to start a government-funded public higher education program called "College for Everyone."
...
Like other Democrats, Edwards named his top three priorities as ending the war in Iraq, enacting universal health care and overhauling the American energy system. "Those are three things instantly I would do," he said.

NRO: "Spoken like a man who has never run anything."
