We Are the Mushrooms of This Economy

Now is the time for progressive pols to attach all sorts of ideological pet projects- some big, some small- to the Grand Experiment v. 1.0. From salmon ladders to universal healthcare, the best projects can't be offshored and all benefits will accrue in our fair land. We should see a gold rush of shelved ideas making a resurgance. It must heady times for most politicos at this point.

It is best to strike while the iron is still hot. After v. 1.0 fizzles in strength and as conditions deteriorate, the populace will become more cynical and stingy.
