You've got to be FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!

Even though I'm a Republican/Libertarian, I had much respect for the candor of Robert Reich. More than once during the Clinton bull run on jobs, I would hear Reich comment after the payroll number that he was still disappointed that much of the job creation each month was in service as opposed to manufacturing. He often was humble if not depreciating during the best economic data. [/B]

I didn't pay much attention to his candor as labor secretary but having been forced to read two of this leftist liberal harvard economists books in college, I found them laughable in that they assert the same keynesian themes that have been discredited since the Carter administration.

With regard to the pipsqueak being dissapointed in at the mix of manufacturing jobs to service sector jobs.....give me a break.

100 years ago this guy would have no doubt been concerned that manufacturing jobs were growing at the expense of agricultural jobs probably or atleast he would have been freaked out about job losses on the farm.

God forbid the market reallocate resources and jobs like that without some beauracrat (sp?) like himself to smooth things out.

When I was with Innerworth, I tracked him down... I wanted to interview him for the Master Interview series. No, he's not a trader of course, but I think it would be fascinating to see if we could have gotten him to comment on active trading. Or anything on the psychological aspects of our markets.

He declined.

I don't always agree with his comments, but I enjoy hearing them when he does his commentary on Marketplace (a PRI program usually heard on public radio stations.

Keeps talking about a FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE in the Economy because we have such incredible productivity growth with an 8.2% GDP, yet she is still unable to tell us where all the job creation is!

Unreal.
Totally not from this World!

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!

We are seeing amazing manipulation.

Sadly this lack of accountability is becoming the hallmark of the current Administration.
...

I'm concerned that government will soon fail to attract anyone of merit at all before long.

It really does seem that we have a government that is bought and paid for. It's corrupt as hell and getting worse. This administration is for sale. GW is just a puppet.

Quote from daliddleguy:

It is hard to phrase this with all due respect due to a head of state. But.... Mr. Bush's (Jr.) stance on free trade (he's against it) is a dead give-away as to his stature on economic issues. He's dumb.

He hasn't earned respect. Dumb, spoiled rich kid.

Quote from CalTrader:

Robert Reich was probably the best Labor Secretary that I have seen during my lifetime. Chow is only average by my measure - perhaps a bit below average.
More...

hate to say it, but she fits the bill for preferential hiring and the administration's attempt at showing a face of inclusion.

she is not only incompetent, arrogant and out of touch; she is incapable of influencing any bargaining or negotiations due to her complete lack of creditbility with those whom she would ultimately have to deal with, namely the Blue Collar types (Unions).

It is really strange to see a non-wasp be an elite-ist and think its cool....
 
Quote from limitdown:


who was that unusually short PhD that Clinton had as his Labor Secretary?

now that guy was not only a competent professor and noted publisher, he had human feeling, and was able to settle major labor disputes....

Robert Reich...

And I agree with you about him.

Though I'm a Republican...
I enjoy listening to him on TV...
Because you get reasonably objective and balanced comments...
As opposed to ideological boilerplate.
 
Wasn't that 8hr. figure for the average FAMILY (avg family size 2.3) ?

Quote from gms:

That's a good one. I think that's why they embraced TV. Average Joe spends 8 hours daily plopped in front of the tube. Feeds the majority fluff, BS and nonsense nightly to keep the masses from rising up and revolting, sort of like an electronic thorazine delivery system.
