A progressive is a citizen who is fiscally and socially responsible. An individual who cares about education and healthcare, for everyone, while understanding that social programs arent a blank check for citizens not to cary their weight in society. A progressive believes in continuing the growth of our nation not through alienating the rest of the world but by developing our own citizens and infrastructure to better compete in today's open market. Simply, a progressive is the new American that cares about security without war and walls, social responsibilty for those that truly need it and a country that will continue the belief and actions that support the American dream of prosperity for all its citizens.
