I don't know how anyone can consider political parties that insist on continuously increasing socialist spending to be "center right" or "right". Any of these party's platforms would have been grounds for banning the proponents as subversive communists 40 years ago. How times have changed. Now, the pinko press labels as extremist any suggestion that someone might have a right to do something for themselves (like buy health care).

For one, I still don't like the idea that the government is the cure for all evils. No government cure is cheap and most are more costly in terms of economics and freedom than they are worth. How many people would have been saved from a life of welfare if our economy grew by an extra percent a year for the last 50 years? We probably sacrificed more than that while building our welfare state.
