Yglesias Echoes Klein re: Baucus

It appears Ezra Klein is not the only Progressive-inclined pundit who has semi-nice things to say about Sen. Baucus’ proposal.

Here’s Matt Yglesias, via Andrew Sullivan:

The status quo in the United States is really bad. Baucus’ plan would make it better.

That line and this one from Yglesias — “even in its meager Baucusish form, the health reform currently on the table would be the biggest piece of progressive social policy in decades” — sound so much like Klein’s bottom line that it further boosts the suspicion (voiced earlier) that a coordinated Progressive retrenchment might be afoot.
