"Biden's Budget Tilts Priorities Toward Center"—front page news headline, New York Times, March 29, 2022.
"So much for President Biden's pivot to the political middle. The fiscal 2023 budget he unveiled Monday re-proposes most of the bad ideas that haven't passed Congress and adds a new one—a tax on wealth that he refused to endorse as a candidate in 2020. On the economy, he's pivoting further left—presumably to fire up sullen progressives in November." — Wall Street Journal editorial, "Biden's Big New Wealth Tax," March 29, 2022.
Another good reminder of the importance of reading more than one newspaper. What counts as the "center" and what counts as "left" can depend on, or disclose something about, where the person ascribing the label stands.
