(10,825 posts)The idea is that the start of any administration is the point to do the biggest, most audacious things and do them fast. FDR's first 100 days are legend and while many of the things done were refined or dropped in time and other measures (including WWII) were required to drag us and the world out of the Great Depression, the idea was really the precursor to the modern Silicon Valley mantra of "move fast and break things", only in much more polite terms and certainly to better social effect.
I believe that such actions are not only necessary to save the republic, but also achievable if we committed to them. There is little doubt that the current glide path, without a serious and well-thought out course correction, leads to dissolution of the union or another civil war. Compromise and return to BALANCED and EQUAL BRANCHES of governance are the bare minimum necessary to reboot our failing experiment. A lack of action or a continued faith in the status quo is not a sane option any longer.
