Obama wasn't LBJ.  In the middle of the unravelling, no one was going to be able to get away with spending to benefit the worker.  We had got out of the habit.  Maybe the crisis will cure it, maybe not.  

Still, common wisdom is to reject violence except as a last resort.  There is a feeling among many people that we have not reached the last resort.  Well, maybe the Boogaloo Bois.  Maybe the Wolverine Watchmen.  Maybe the Marxists.  But most see us as nowhere near the last resort.

Lol, 2008 is the middle of the unraveling now? And that justifies the continued embrace of neoliberalism by the Democratic Party in 2020?
