Robert Reich: Who needs Republicans when Wall Street has the Democrats?

[AnotherMcIntosh]

23. Reich is right. But, IMO, he would have more credibility if he would now publicly oppose NAFTA.

I am far from saying that he is a hyprocrate, although I wish that he had not been a NAFTA cheerleader.

The fact that Congressional Democrats are acting on behalf of Wall Street and pushing back the modest reforms needs to be said. And certainly Reich has more standing than the average citizen. Good for him. But unlike Bill Clinton who admitted in his autobiography that he was wrong re the AWB, Reich - I believe - has never admitted that he was wrong on NAFTA. Sending jobs to foreign countries is still destroying this country and Reich might do us all some good if this former proponent would admit that.

When you say, "We get it that you dont like Reich," no you don't. It's not that I dislike Reich. It is that I dislike what NAFTA has done to this country. If, by some remote chance that he reads DU, maybe he would speak up and influence some corporate leaders who could be in a position to do something about it.
