The big ticket, agreed upon progressive priorities are still for the benefit of all: Green New Deal, Medicare for all, accessible higher education. I find it more difficult to find policies for the common good coming from conservatives these days. Does anyone have examples?

- AnimalMuppet 5y agoThe (fiscal) conservative view of those items is that paying for them is going to create poverty, or at least a lot of people being less well off because of the taxes. (And that Modern Monetary Theory is wishful thinking that doesn't work in reality.) The conservatives could be wrong. But they aren't just hard-hearted Scrooge McDuck types who don't want to pay for something that will benefit the poors.
