Have you responded to the long and steep rise in oil and gas prices by taking public transportation instead of driving your car? Thank a progressive. If the conservative, go-it-alone, public-infrastructure-is-for-sissies philosophy had prevailed, that bus or train might not have been there. Investing in efficient public infrastructure isn’t just ideologically appealing to progressives; it’s also smart, and it works, and it saves people money. Do you live in an urban center with poor quality, low-coverage, underfunded public transportation? Thank a conservative for standing in the way.
As the price of energy continues to rise, we will need to figure out new ways (and remember old ways) of banding together to save money, increase efficiency and reduce consumption while still getting our work done. Let’s put the progressives in office who have the vision to get it done.
