I moved from your position to the conservative one when I was your age. In 1980, i had an epiphany and realized the new deal was dead and everything that had gone before reagan was part of that keynsian new deal. Now dont get me wrong, Keynes and FDR were necessary to get us out of the depression but the institutionalization of liberalism corrupted the noble ideals. That goes for unions, the govt bureacrocacy, tax and spend etc. Now we are at the end of the supply side era and you are right, the warts are showing. Unequal distribution of wealth is one thing but you cant resolve that with class warfare tax policies that do not lift any boats. That tax money goes down a government toilet. So thats where i get to my use of the word progressive. Can obama move from traditional liberalism to progressive and eclectic? Can McCain break from republican orthodoxy and as a popular president take us to that place? Can a third party emerge headed by a bloomberg, a hagel et al that will become the focus of a new paridgm for the next 30-40 years? In the end whatever solutions get tried will always break down and need to be changed. No idea lasts forever in politics and nothing works forever either.
