Robert Reich? Wow, I thought this man was high on Obama’s policies. This is big IMO.
The American people first have to know that Democrats have been in charge of Congress since January 2007. Every time I am visiting family, they watch CNN and MSNBC and those channels say the Democrats have only controlled Congress since January of THIS year. Lies, lies, lies.
Don't get too excited. If you notice his prescription is more of the same, i.e. government spending, don't worry about the debt etc. This is exactly wrong as Reagan proved in the 80s. Cut taxes, cut government spending and put the money back in the private sector's hands. Remember every job the government creates is a net money loser. If you're let's say a carpenter, your company pays you a salary, but the product you produce is worth more than your salary so the company makes a profit, and in turn uses that profit to hire more people, buy tools or whatever. A government salary must be paid out of taxes, which come from people paying who in turn have less to spend elsewhere.At least that's my simplistic way of understanding it.
Robert Reich is a liberal and as with any liberal every problem has a government solution. Seems to me you put more money into peoples pockets on an ongoing basis, as opposed to a one shot stimulus check, then after they catch up with all their bills they'll start spending. It's never been known to fail.
And a dwarf to boot.
If you read the article, he’s still big on Obama’s policies.
He’s just calling for more of the same.
He IS high on Obama’s policies. He’s saying the only thing that can provide jobs is the government.

I don't think you read the whole piece. He attacks Obama from the left.
Nah. All he's saying is that Obama should do more of the same--subsidize production for which there is no demand--"stimulate" those green shoots--wherever they are.
After the US buys everything his non-white untrained construction workers can turn out, and the dollar is cheap as dirt, what is the gubbermint going to do with all those cars, widgets, and asphalt plants?
