Quote from monty21:
Guys,
Who knows if this is Obama's idea. All we can say is that one of his advisers has this radical opinion. Anyway, I wouldn't take Robert Reich too seriosuly... he is only on the economic transition advisory board.
The chair of the Economic Council is Christina Romer. Then he has a whole bunch of other economists, one of which is this Reich clown.
So this comment does not really represent Obama. I don't like this Reich guy, but maybe he has some other views that people can agree to. He did work with Clinton during his first term.
