I believe I've seen you vehemently defend the President on many occasions. Some, I'm certain, are more than justifiable. I'm not against the President, but I'm fully frustrated by his weakness on several key subjects - deficit hawking being one of the worst.
So how does one defend this President's insistence on 'going it alone' after Congress rejected his plan to form a dog food commission and forming his own dog food commission by appointing deficit hawks who demanded Social Security cuts, tax cuts for the wealthy, and savage federal spending cuts? How do you defend his persistent talk about reducing the deficit - especially when compared to his talk of increasing revenue and seizing the current opportunity to fund infrastructure spending at bargain prices (T-bill rates under 2%)?
I just don't see how Professor Reich can be expected to be one of the few torch carriers on this - why doesn't the President buck up?!
