Sanders' euphemism
I like collecting euphemisms. The pro sports team that announces its star player will miss the season due to a "chemical dependency" (not a drug addiction). Casinos are in the "gaming business," never gambling. Futures markets don't encourage speculation - they encourage "public participation." And now the latest from Sen. Bernie Sanders. He and his followers are pushing for "progressive policies," not (heaven forbid), Latin American-style socialist authoritarianism.
