Isn't that the Goldman SACHS school of policy bullshit that the big man teaches at? Everyone thinks Reich is an economist, except all those bozos who wear bowties and facial hair.
Cutting to the chase: >>It won’t mark a swing of the pendulum back toward the Great Society and the New Deal, but for the first time since Ronald Reagan told America government is the problem Obama’s health care legislation reasserts that government can be a major solution. In political terms, that’s a very big deal.<< Actually it's more analogous to Repubnocrat proposals to turn social security into 'individually managed' retirement accounts that you have to expose to the 'markets' (an idea that they lifted from Thatcher). And if we want pendular precedents in legislation look no further back than the prescription drug deal Pres. Bushwar and the Demonopublicans put together a few years back--mocked in Moore's film 'Sicko'--the scene about how all those congresspeoplel love their grandmothers.
