Well, the "public good" infers drastically reducing our national debt, and regarding this certain parties believe that certain federal programs such as SS and Medicare should be privatized. Get that cost off the books.
Public good and demographic interests are often at odds with each other. Another example is the enormous climate problem caused by fossil fuels. Public good (survival) vs. private interest (corporate reign, and supposedly, jobs).
When you look at the overall agenda of a particular candidate and his/her party, you can pretty much identify how the individual issues are going to play out.
