Or ending the exploitation of child labor.

Or ending most food born illness?

Or providing safe medicine and medical practices?

Or saving the environment?

Or providing safe workplaces?

Or feeding and housing the poor and disabled?

Or providing a means for a majority of the population to get a secondary education?

Or ending segregation and discrimination based on race in employment and housing?

People often forget what progressive policies are. All of things are happening, and could happen better. If people are so concerned that progressive policies are going to fail, then maybe we should let them happen as they are supposed to and see if they can actually succeed or fail, or if what we see is actually politicians against progressive policies that are setting them up to not be as successful.

If we eliminated the watering down of some of these policies could we provide better access to medicines and health care? Make health care, housing, and food more affordable? Or will they fall flat because these policies are actually bad? We won't get to know because those against progress are too afraid of their success to let them happen as they are intended to.

I just read over that and realized how much I have apparently been drinking the government worker kool-aid.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." - FDR
