I reject the premise our only hope is the bailout. Our position is
to build a left movement. We have no real power and thus the luxury
to advocate good sense. For example, what's the rush. What is a
good plan are tenable and realistic political alternatives.

Man is said to be a rational animal. I do not know why he has not been
