Terms like neo-liberalism gall me. The right has been able to use Orwellian phrases at will without any resistance. You want to destroy the social safety net, don't call it class labor, call it reform. You want to destroy the ability of unions to have a political voice, call it paycheck protection .... A crisis means that the stock market has trouble.

The only leftish phrase that had any cachet was corporate welfare.
