"Fed up with Wall Street, Democrats look to the left"

8. This is the real corner we need to turn.

A lot will follow from the emphatic repudiation of trickle-down, laissez-faire, empower-the-rich-and-everything's-great garbage the Republicans have been getting away spouting for decades.

How they are still arguing we need to let the bankers and financiers run free, leave healthcare up to employers, and eliminate the social safety net with all that's happened is a mystery in itself.

But I do think it's getting harder. Americans just rejected a hard sell on another war in the Middle East, and asked the architect of the financial collapse to please not attempt to advise us further on things like interest rates.

It will be harder still when 33 million more Americans are insured, and the world does not collapse.

They are desperate.

Good.
