The prescriptions for many of our ills are in hand — child day care, jobs, education, health care — but it would take a societal effort on the scale of the Marshall Plan to break the generations-long chain of institutionalized destruction our social policies have wreaked. If we can spend trillions on Iraq and Afghanistan in nation building, if we can bail out Wall Street with billions of taxpayer dollars, why not here? Why not now?

Additional quotes by Bruce Springsteen

Now you hung with me when all the others turned away turned up their nose. We liked the same music, we liked the same bands, we liked the same clothes. We told each other that we were the wildest, the wildest things we'd ever seen. Now I wished you would have told me, I wished I could have talked to you. Just to say goodbye Bobby Jean.
