Check out this quote:
"It amazes me how commentators, especially conservative commentators, can argue that (a) Obama is a socialistic avatar and a radical redistributionist and yet (b) that his election doesn't mean that the voters have been pulled to the left or bestowed a liberal mandate--that the U.S. is still (this week's reigning buzzphrase) 'a center-right country.'" -- James Wolcott
It reminded me of something I was thinking about last night:
The conservatives who call Social Security a "Ponzi Scheme" are the same conservatives who believe that high economic growth can be sustained indefinitely.
