the only place where we agree, ace, is that there is not enough of a plan in the "stimulus package" and in the announcements concerning the banking sector.
we agree on that statement alone, but from entirely opposed positions.
i think obama has to break harder and faster with the outmoded logic of neoliberalism and formulate a clearer vision of exactly what the state is now going to do, how it is going to go about it, how the process is going to be benchmarked, etc.
and i think that the time is passing during which it makes any sense to waste time thinking and speaking in neoliberal terms--simply because those terms tend to preclude exactly the directions the administration needs to move in, and quickly.
maybe that explains the growing impatience in my posts with respect to the american right--i have never been a fan--but i see it now as not only incoherent but also ineffectual--and this at a point where the shit that's hitting the fan is such that there's no more time to waste on incoherence and ineffectualness.
