Progressive, conservative

Senator Rand Paul just produced a budget-cutting proposal that doesn't touch Social Security or Medicare and does cut a great deal of corporate welfare. It's that great progressive in the White House that wants to cut Social Seceurity and Medicare while keeping corporate welfare intact.

Paul wants to chop the war industry, too, another thing our great progressives don't want to touch.

And he even wants to send less money to Israel, which is making all sorts of people scream.

That's why I keep remembering that progress is what happens in an egg, while at the same time when people call themselves conservative I want to know what they want to conserve.
