I think that Libs and Progs would agree that the burden of health care 
on the average citizen is much too high.

Both should agree that government is aligning with the medical-big 
pharma-insurance industrial complex and
is systematically defrauding and despoiling the public.

Both can agree that the money spent for war materiel and mercenaries and 
bribes could be better spent at home.

(That may unfortunately come to pass sooner than we think, and not what 
we had in mind.)
