In his new book, economist Dean Baker debunks the myth that conservatives favor the market over government intervention. In fact, conservatives rely on a range of “nanny state” policies that ensure the rich get richer while leaving most Americans worse off. It’s time for the rules to change. Sound economic policy should harness the market in ways that produce desirable social outcomes – decent wages, good jobs and affordable health care.Which political party routinely proposes legislation to further the idea of the Nanny State?Studies show that the welfare queen idea has roots in both race and gender. Franklin Gilliam, the author of a public perception experiment on welfare, concludes that:



"While poor women of all races get blamed for their impoverished condition, African-American women commit the most egregious violations of American values. This story line taps into stereotypes about both women (uncontrolled sexuality) and African-Americans (laziness)."



Studies show that the public dramatically overestimates the number of African-Americans in poverty, with the cause of this attributed to media trends and its portrayal of poverty.[9] Political scientist Martin Gilens found that the media shifted its focus on poverty from white Appalachian farmers and factory closings during the 1960s, to a very darker image following civil unrest in major US cities.[9] By 1973, 75% of magazine pictures featured African Americans as the face of welfare, despite African Americans making up only 35% of welfare recipients.[9] This darkening of welfare recipients was accompanied by a feminization of poverty during the same time, where from the 1970s onwards, women became the predominant face of poverty.[3][1]



Franklin Gilliam’s study examined the intersection of people’s attitudes on race, gender, and the media. The experiment showed an 11-minute news clip, with a welfare story embedded at some point in the clip, to two groups of participants. Each welfare clip had a different recipient -- one with a white woman and the other with a black woman. The results showed that people were extremely accurate in their recall of the race and gender of the black female welfare recipient, confirming that the gendered and racial narrative had entered common knowledge and that implicit associations were often made.[3]Which political party routinely proposes legislation to further the idea of the Nanny State?

they wait until they have made huge fortunes on a loophole, then propose a law to close the loophole, and find another one, blaming the old one on democrats.
Republicans once again.Which political party routinely proposes legislation to further the idea of the Nanny State?
Repubic ians.
Republicans lately and they will take the mantle of being the least fiscally conservative of any governance over the last 30 years, just based on the growth of the national debt under Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43.
Dems do Nanny state stuff while Reps do Ninny state stuff. Substance versus symbolism. Any gay flag burners in your area lately?
None. That is a construct of the uber-Right wing of the Repugnican party...IOW, its a made-up crock of crap!
Both parties do this.....I wouldn't say either one has a leg up on the other here...
Depends on whether the "child" getting the nanny is a giant corporation or investment bank trying to have all regulation on it's particular industry removed ... in which case the party proposing the legislation is the Republican party.....



by the way how has all that deregulation that's occurred since Reagan working out.... so far only the airlines and the entire banking industry have failed but hey....at least Bush has weakened environmental laws so my air is dirtier... wait that's not good for anyone or anything, is it?



....or whether you are talking about a nanny state as it relates to individuals getting an affordable education or welfare when they are down and out... or affordable healthcare so they don't die unnecessarily just because they don't have the funds.... or maybe even a doctor who was willing to help the poor by accepting medicare/medicaid at his/her office that now (or at least through last week) was looking at a huge pay cut because of Medicare "reform" ..... in which case I think you have to say that it's almost always a Democrat proposing such legislation. ( And related to the last example given...Democrats working to override vetoes so we can actually get something done in our government... including making sure our doctors get paid and not our insurance companies).



Hope this answers your "softball" of a question.... and I wish I lived in the close-minded, sound-bite world you live in. It would simplify everything... and I like you... could go around thinking I was right all the time but never really looking at the problem with any depth. Yep... your black and white world must be a comforting place to live.... too bad it only exists in your head.
President Franklin Roosevelt’s socialistic program he called our “Second Bill of Rights.”



By 1944, when he began his fourth term (he was the only President unconstrained by the traditional limit of two terms), President Roosevelt candidly acknowledged in his State of the Union message that the New Deal welfare state was not part of the original Constitutional government of the United States and that the Constitution had never been amended, in accordance with the express provision of Article V, to legitimize the welfare state:



We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all – regardless of station, race, or creed. Among these are: The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries, or shops or farms or mines of the Nation; The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation; The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living; The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad; The right of every family to a decent home; The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health; The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment; The right to a good education. All these rights spell security.



It is this “Second Bill of Rights” aspect of the liberal paradigm that leads today’s public, ignorant of history, to believe that health care and other welfare benefits are literally “constitutional rights.”
