Inland Empire Progressive

The governor has decided not only to take on unions in this budget battle, but also cut the whole public transportation budget in a bait and switch scheme to provide "relief" at the pump for POV driver's, while pocketing the rest to cover the shortfall in the general fund. Now not only are unionized transportation workers taking a hit because of it, but those who depend on public transportation to get to and from work will suffer because of it. Thank you Arnold and your conservative allies in the legislature for the low tax, small government rule. You just contributed about 3 to 4 percentage points to unemployment in the Inland Empire (2nd to Detroit). Yet we send the same jabronies to Sacramento every time. Conservative government service with a smile. Below is the link: http://www.sbsun.com/news/ci_14259001

Repubs may be sharks but what are Progressives? DOLPHINS!!!

Our principles are Equality, Sacrifice, and the Common Good. Liberalism's history represents these values to protect the weakest members of our society. I will elaborate on each one in future posts and show that these values can counter the Conservative values of small government, stong national defense, and "individual" repsonsibility. Progressives will do best to establish these values as the core to which to build on. The gauntlet has been thrown ladies and gentlemen which side do we choose to stand on.

Over the course of 30 years America has been consumed by conservative ideology. From Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II we have been victim of a steady bombardment that government is large, incompetent and slow to respond to the needs of its citizen. However, these same men and women have exploited the system for their personal gain. We as Progressives believe in government that is for the people, by the people, and of the people. I disregard the arguments by the psuedo-pop(ulism) right wing tyrants and will pursue with every fiber of my being to argue in a spirited and rhetorical way to send them back to the graveyard of ideas!
