You won't be disappointed.

1. Bob loves to play make believe

Pretending his own actions aren't the cause of growing inequality in the US. ..traitor to labor he is. .

3. Reich will explain how trade deals undermine the labor market and widen inequality.

Yet, as far as I know he has not reconciled that view his own advocacy of NAFTA. He should admit he was wrong.

4. The problems started long before

Robert Reich came to the Clinton Cabinet. NAFTA was not a good deal for US Labor, but the die had been cast a good time before he got there. About 1980 if I recall correctly.

5. Would you be upset to find out that maybe the die was cast prior to 1980?

See the following for instance...

And yes I hate Reagan with a passion, so much so that I wish they would plumb an outhouse to his tomb and pay people to shit in it.

But just because I can see Reagan for the pathological evil greedy son of bitch that he was, doesn't mean that I have to be ideologically blind to the many other individual lessor and greater evils.

It is just as sad as it is true, that elite special interest have used the both political parties in America as a facade to advance an agenda that has been in the making even long before Reagan.

8. Do you think that as a cabinet member, his and other advisors had the last say on NAFTA?

I don't, which is why I don't think anything put forth by him since that administration was "pretending".

I don't think it's traitorous to labor to have produced the easy to understand explanation of how labor has been affected, regardless of his role under Clinton.

To do nothing from the point of that frustration would have been traitorous. Your blistering over his SOL role leave out anything he's done or tried to do (example, this movie, which I don't have to go to a theater to see, as I did to see "Inconvenient Truth&quot is evidence of how his role is one of benefit now.

It's easy to criticize and it's very hard to do. I know this at the local level and from what history teaches me about others like RR.
