Now is the time to strike for a progressive "shock and awe" to remake the economic landscape that is balanced and fair for all parties.  This means a wholesale rejection of the policies of the Republicans that created this economic nightmare of "free market" pirates.

Josh Marshall gets it:

...a couple centuries of our history and you'll see that there are just no examples of administrations that started small and did big things in year 2 or 4 or 6. That doesn't happen. Look at Roosevelt, Johnson, Reagan, presidents pack their biggest punch on day one. And even though many big things can happen in subsequent years, the presidencies are almost always defined at the beginning. Later triumphs and reforms grow from the changed political terrain created at the outset.

The time is now to remake this nation into a nation for all.  The Republicans is the party of old ideas and old men who cling to the racist past for their success.

BTW- I will point out this incisive critique of "IOUSA" documentary that aired on CNN over the weekend. The Center for Economic and Policy Research shows clearly that one of the root enconomic problems is health care costs.
