Re: US Middle Class on the Edge (none / 1)

I don't understand why the term "neo-conservatism" is limited to the foreign policy realm. If you read the neo-con publications such as Weekly Standard or the National Review you find articles advocating the dismantling of economic safety net programs for the middle class along side of pieces celebrating pre-emptive war and torture. They seem to go hand in hand.

The "neo-liberals" in America had like 15 min of fame and then were swallowed right up by the neo-conservatives. The distinction between the two seems more clear in Europe. Here in America they really are the same, doing each other's work. (Though I think the neo-liberals would deny it.)
