I am again asked to explain what I mean by saying that I am a centrist. In a world where both sides of the aisle have apparently begun to believe their own propaganda I can give a brief approximate answer.
The left, led by Obama says that we can get all of the money that we need to operate the government by a modest increase in taxes on the rich.
The right, led by various people says that we can get all of the money we need to operate the government by cutting tax rates.
In this context, a centrist is someone who recognizes that both of those beliefs are nonsense and we are all going to have to pay to get out the hole that we are still digging.
