The War on the Poor and Working Families



Robert Reich connects the dots to show how a range of positions, on issues ranging from the minimum wage to unemployment insurance to food stamps, work together to keep poor and working families in desperate situations -- and calls on all of us to do something about it.



This video is from the Robert Reich collaboration with MoveOn.org Civic Action.

I didn't know Robert Reich was doing this.

Thought he just retired and that was that.

 

[Matt1970]

Oh no, he's been pushing his socialism bullshit for yours, it's just nobody really gives a rats ass what he says.

 

[Texashiker]

Thread title is misleading.

There is nothing I heard in the video that references Republicans.

Video description does not reference Republicans.

As for Republicans being against working families, Clinton signed GATT and NAFTA. And Clinton voted to allow China to enter the WTO.

Those were all republican ideas, and republicans kept throwing hissy fits until he signed them. This is what happens when democrats give republicans what they want. They get failed policies and try to blame the democrats when they don't work.

"Hey, YOU signed OUR proposal, and since it didn't work, we blame YOU"!

 

[Texashiker]

Those were all republican ideas,

Oh really?

Clinton had two terms to fix the jobs problem, he did not do it.

obama is in his second term, signed free trade agreements with various nations in central America.

Except Clinton and a lot of Democrats were also in support of NAFTA.

Does this sound like someone didn't support it?

To this day I believe he supports it.

"...the House of Representatives approved NAFTA on November 17, 1993, 234-200. The agreement's supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. NAFTA passed the Senate 61-38. Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats."

Thank you.

This is not an us VS them issue.

This is corporate America having our government on the payroll. Regardless of party we have been screwed over by our elected officials.

You know Dave, if you were to switch teams you could be on the winning side for once. Think about it.

I made that mistake once. It cost the Country dearly.

Winning?? It's won.

34 years and going strong - Reganomics FTW.

How old are you?

Started not long after Sand Thugs took over in 1973.

Excuse me? Unemployment in 2000 was at its lowest rate since 1970-

Facts don't matter, right?

 

[inachu]

I am not communist or socialist nor am I democrat or republican but I can tell that America is swaying towards the idea that if you want to be rich then you must only deal in stocks as that is the only way to financial freedom and the american dream.

So with that idea then the corporations hire illegals to replace american middle class hoping the middle class will join the elite to just trade in stocks as well.

I guess then they should get an education and learn critical thinking skills. Stupid is as stupid does.

Republicans and Democrats are two sides to the same coin.

What happened after clinton signed nafta and gatt?

What was the long term effect of clinton economic policy? Millions of jobs lost to china.

Bush did not change course.

Obama has not changed course.

I guess you think there's infinite demand for critical thinkers in our automated offshored financialized version of Multinational Capitalism.

I suggest that's completely wrong, a form of denial and self aggrandizement.

If you had the critical thinking skills you believe you possess, I wouldn't need to point that out.

That ship sailed a long time ago, sailor. The real issue is what we need to do instead to better distribute the fruits of America's investment in offshore opportunities & automation.

Either the Job Creators need to bust out with more domestic jobs or we need more govt assistance for more people or a little of both.

I never understood how anybody could believe that Reaganomics could lead us to any place other than this. When investment grows at 7% per year & wages at 2-3% per year over 30 years, then enormous inequality is unavoidable. When investment is taxed at a lower rate than labor, it just gets worse faster, particularly with international labor arbitrage.

Not much Reaganomics going on in the 70's.

 

[Jhhnn]

Not that again, not the "it started in the 70's" routine. Nobody denies that. The only denial here is that Reaganomics didn't make it worse.

We experienced several economic shocks in the 70's. Going off the gold standard. Oil Embargo. The end of the Vietnam War. Carter deregulated transportation.

Working people always take a hit in times of economic turmoil.

 

[Zaap]

I guess you think there's infinite demand for critical thinkers in our automated offshored financialized version of Multinational Capitalism.

As opposed to the infinite demand for useless dipshits who can't think at all in your big-government run nanny-state pipedream.

Only leftists could think people having critical thinking skills is scary and bad but then again..... leftists.
