...money that will be saved by ending this destruction can be ploughed back into the national economy. McGovern's first priority is to create jobs for the unemployed by spending money on public works.

That "unholy alliance" is the key to success for any significant left-wing movement in the mainstream of American politics, and since February, creating it has been McGovern's primary...
