New York Times: “The best-known Republicans speaking out on poverty and opportunity have presidential ambitions, among them Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). Influential conservative economists and columnists have spoken up as well.”
“While their comments suggest the two parties agree mainly on the problem, not the remedies, some Republicans and Democrats see a chance, if small, for compromises — perhaps on tax policy, education and job-training initiatives, even the federal minimum wage.”
Said GOP strategist Vin Weber: “The president could move the ball. And he doesn’t have to move it from a dead start. He’s got a little bit of movement on the right.”
