The differences between the American left and right are huge. The left is for big government and will increase government spending by 8%. The right is for small government and when elected increases government spending by 11%.
The left favors big government solutions with respect to healthcare, money, social security and regulation. The right favors big government solutions with respect to drug plans, money, social security and regulation.
The left favors a Federal Reserve Bank that would inflate the money supply by 8%. The right favors a Federal Reserve Bank that would inflate the money supply by 7.9% with an extra $800 sent to each taxpayer.
The left favors more Medicaid and is unconcerned with fraud. The right favors less Medicaid with a higher percentage of fraud.
The left opposes investigation of the Kennewick Man. The right opposes teaching of evolution in school.
The left hates white men. The right hates Mexican immigrants.
The left claims to favor the poor and working class but adopts policies that support wealthy contributors, cronies and themselves. The right claims to favor hard working Americans but adopts policies that support wealthy contributors, cronies and themselves.
As John Lukacs has pointed out, the right emphasizes the national, while the left emphasizes the socialism. Thankfully, ours is an intellectually diverse nation.
