I am all ready for someone to govern from the center.  Just as soon as the clowns who keep this banter up admit that American government is about as far from the center as Pluto is from the sun.  In any sort of centrist government, the idea of progressive income tax would not be contested as some sort of bizarre left wing plot, it would be the norm from which we would never stray with extraordinarily regressive payroll and sales taxes.  In any sort of centrist government, there would be no contest over the public provision of health financing, if not the outright delivery of health care.  A centrist government would focus on the social consequences of market failure when fashioning any sort of economic recovery package, not merely the desires of the already wealthy.

I am all for a centrist government.  Time to dump the extremist government we have had for the last 30 years.  If Pelosi and Reid aren't with the program, we can dump them too.
