WASHINGTON (AP) -- Inside the Democratic Party, economic policy is often seen as a contest between President Barack Obama's track record and the anti-Wall Street approach advocated by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
As Hillary Rodham Clinton heads for an expected 2016 run for president, her allies are pointing her toward something in between.
A group of Clinton advisers offered a detailed economic agenda last week that aims to help raise wages for millions of workers and narrow the gap between rich and poor. The policy road map was produced at the Center for American Progress, a Washington-based think tank stocked with veterans of the Bill Clinton and Obama administrations. It appeared to focus on those who are disenchanted with Obama and skeptical that Clinton would effectively police Wall Street and champion middle-class workers.
"While there are large forces, globalization, technology and more, that are creating large challenges for many workers, there is no excuse or intellectual basis for fatalism," said Larry Summers, one of its authors and a former treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton who later worked for Obama.
