A Lincoln Day bridge for the GOP
Lincoln Day celebrations are occasions in the Republican Party for looking backward and forward. We can best honor the 16th president with conservative approaches to helping Americans better participate in the economy. Lincoln wanted government to build bridges for mass flourishing. The alternative, then as now, is to build walls of protection. This battle between bridges and walls will be an important struggle in Republican economic policy.
As the Civil War raged, Lincoln endorsed policies aimed at helping people of modest means to advance in the changing economy. He championed the Morrill Act s land-grant colleges, the Homestead Act s encouragement of mobility, and the transcontinental railroad s opening of opportunity - to say nothing of Emancipation. That agenda offers strong guidance for today s GOP, when the dislocations of technological change and globalization are behind much of the current unrest.
