Hillary has more than 200 economic advisors. Why doesn't Warren?

70. One was Reich. A 5 page memo.

One was Larry Summers, via her CAP think tank, a 166 page report.

....What I learned in 2008 about Centrists running for president, they talk progressive to get the vote, and then they do the conservative centristy thing once elected to office.

Mr. Reich, who recently sent Mrs. Clinton a five-page memo laying out his ideas, said candidates in both parties needed to abandon the politically safe discussion of upward mobility for the poor and middle class that dominated the 1990s, and instead take on the stickier issue of income distribution.

For some, the solutions proposed by the committee, of which Mr. Summers was co-chairman, did not go far enough.

Dean Baker, an economist and co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, has pushed the idea of a government fee on the sale or purchase of certain financial assets, which he believes could hold Wall Street accountable while funding social services. “Clinton people didn’t want to go near it,” Mr. Baker said....
