Twenty-eight years ago, Ronald Reagan used the severe economic downturn of 1980-82 to implement an economic philosophy that not only gave force and meaning to a wide range of initiatives but also offered a way back to sustained economic growth. Is there a similarly powerful animating idea behind Obamanomics? I believe there is -- and it's not a return to big government. The expansive and expensive forays of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board into Wall Street notwithstanding,

I read that headline as ‘Reich Economics’.
Obama is no Ronald Reagan tyvm!
Yes from Robert Reich we get great assurances that: Obamanomics Isn’t About Big Government.
Of course he starts with President Reagan’s tax cuts, who on the Left doesn’t like to start there? Yes if you must tell a lie, tell a big one, and say that letting those who make money KEEP IT is the same as TAXING IT and having government do anything with it.

He’s so full of it his eyes are brown.......or should be.
“Fascism is a radical, authoritarian nationalist ideology that aims to create a single-party state with a government led by a dictator who seeks national unity and development by requiring individuals to subordinate self-interest to the collective interest of the nation or race”
Robert B Reicccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheh chimes in. Government is nowhere near as big as he thinks it should be.
It’s planned ~ and it’s no accident ~ I believe Obama is simply trying to destroy the country before everybody comes to their senses.
I don’t believe he even actually cares about being re-elected. At least you could count on that from Clinton. When his 4 years are up he will have accomplished what he had set out to do. We will be left in utter chaos unless we return the legisative branch to the adults in 2010.
Our government is handing out a sardines and telling you it is salmon.
To sum up what Reich is saying in the present context:
We’re spending money we don’t have and never will have despite raising taxes on everything and everyone to make a token effort at paying for the spending, and it’s being spent on gigantic government bailouts that come with strings attached and government dictating who runs private enterprise and how much they make, and declare and end to how Wall Street does business, and while we are spending trillions on new government programs to nationalize health care and limit industry through excessive governmental environmental regulations, but other than those minor things, this isn’t about a return to big government.
OK Mr. Reich...I can see that it’s not a return to big government...since we never left it to begin with.
Another Harvard tool who never had a real job.
The “Mentally Ill Liberals” are to thank for this final nail in America’s coffin.
Total F*cking Idiots! My kids thank you for screwing their future!
How can you fit so much BS into so short of man?
Bingo.
The dwarf should know.
It’s gonna be the FOURTH REICH.
Stand Bob! Oh, God love him, he’s a midget. Let’s all stand up for Bob!
