Robert Reich = ROGUE Economist
These were the ACTUAL words of Obama economic advisor Robert Reich during recent testimony to help Congress decide how economic stimulus money should be spent:
”I am concerned, as I’m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high-skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers…I have nothing against white male construction workers, I’m just saying there are other people who have needs as well.”
Oh yes, Mr. Reich, heaven forbid that we would want SKILLED people performing a job!
All I have heard so far from Obama's administration about "job creation" only refers to blue-collar jobs, as if those types of workers are the only ones unemployed right now. Any meaningful "job creation" means creating jobs for ALL!!! How will America prosper again if it keeps its best and brightest on the sidelines? Not everyone is cut out to be a construction worker, and besides, those who provide intellectual capital (which experts insist is extremely important in today's global business market) should not be forced to choose between menial work or no work at all.
