Do we want to save the pre-crisis system, get it back to where it was last September? Or do we want to use this crisis, and the electoral mandate for change delivered by the last election, to radically transform that system? We need to get clear on our answer now because we haven’t had the potent combination of a serious crisis and a clear progressive democratic mandate for change since the 1930s. We use this opportunity or we lose it.
A 7% difference, in an election where not even all registered voters voted, let alone the whole population, and she calls it a "mandate". :rolleyes:
Make sure you check out "Defaming Milton Friedman":

Refutes what Klein said about Friedman in her book.
