When Liberalism And Conservatism Intersect

Actually, it happens far more frequently than one might think.  And, in a democracy, it's often the only way anything good happens.  Conservatives are yielding on marriage equality (very slowly), and now some liberals are prepared to yield to Milton Friedman on the question of what Friedman called a "negative income tax," and what liberals have traditionally called a guaranteed income.

Makes you wonder how much of our politics depends on ideology, and how much of it depends on semantics.
