Frank Bruni with a glowing appreciation of RI Gov-elect Raimondo in the NY Times, A Democrat to Watch in 2015:  Gina Raimondo’s Approach to Income Inequality.  (Her approach to dealing with income inequality appears to be “Make it worse.”)  Matt Taibbi had the goods on Ms. Raimondo back in 2013, Looting the Pension Funds.   See also two pieces by David Sirota, How a $100,000 check exposes the politics of pension theft and Rhode Island Treasurer Gina Raimondo Wants To ‘Minimize Attention’ To Wall Street Managers’ Compensation.

The term “Blue Dog Democrat” came about to describe fiscally-conservative, often southern Democrats.    Allow me to propose a new term, Dogshit Democrat, as a catch-all for Democrats like Raimondo and Chuck Schumer who take it upon themselves to service the financial services industry at the expense of the rest of us.

PS Concerned about the long-term well-being of Social Security?  Bruce Bartlett with an excellent assessment back in 2012, The Real Long-Term Budget Challenge.  My own take on Social Security finances, The Inadequacy of the Obama Administration.)

PPS 2014 Rhode Island gubernatiorial election results:

Gina Raimondo (Democrat) … 41%

Alan Fung (Republican) …        36%

Robert J Healey (Moderate) …  21%
