Are neoliberals not ultimately conservatives? This is politics, where everything is doublespeak. Hence, Liberal is actually conservative, and Conservative is actually…something beyond that. Heck, consider how we even got the term neoliberal, i.e. freedom for businesses instead of people. 😛

As much as I would prefer not to be cutting back on any ecological objectives, I have to admit we have a lot of really high priorities that are going to be very expensive. I won’t pretend to be informed enough to stake a firm position, but at a high level it feels like a reasonable choice.
