Political Compass

I’ve been struggling a lot lately with my political compass — which side of the aisle I’m sitting on. I’m not going to say much about that right now, mostly because I’ve been working on a longer post on the subject, but this post by Gregg Easterbrook on his New Republic blog really got me thinking about the state of things. I think his critique of America’s middle class is right on, and it makes me lean a little more to the left.
