labor economist, eh?
“labor economist” = communist
“dictatorship of the proletariate”, ie, rule by the working class (”labor”), is one of the euphemisms that communists use to describe their dystopia.
You know the leanings of a guy who goes into labor economics to start with—and then that they’ll only be reinforced by everything he learns ast taught by every instructor and studied with every fellow student. From there he ventures out of academia and into the Obama Administration? Oh boy!
