Robert Reich on LinkTV!

Please make a point of catching progressive TV network Link TV's broadcast of Robert Reich's speech from January of this year, entitled Robert Reich: 2009 Economic Forecast. Reich is a brilliant mind and a terrifically entertaining and engaging speaker, and this presentation is a must for anyone in contemplation about the present state of the economy. Of course, this speech was given in January to the Commonwealth Club of California, and current events have changed things, but listening to this wise man is always an education and we will come out of it smarter.

Visit the Link TV website to find out all the upcoming broadcast times, and there are several this weekend! Don't miss this chance to hear one of the most thoughtful and decent Americans out there, sharing his impeccable and compassionate vision. Neither a Pollyanna nor a Chicken Little, as he terms the two extremes of how people are viewing today's economic outlook, Reich is refreshing, enlightened, ultimately (sort of) upbeat, and also bracing. He will make you think.

May I Recommend Robert Reich's Views on the Budget?

Please take a look at this terrific post from Robert Reich's blog of Last Thursday. "Finally a Progressive Budget" explains the full impact of Obama's history-making move to restore the economic health of America.

As the brilliant Reich succinctly declares: "It's about time a presidential budget uneqivocally redistributed income from the very rich to the middle class and poor."

The end.

And that's the truth.

Robert Reich on "The Mini Depression"

Required reading: Economist and former Clinton Cabinet member Robert Reich has a great piece on TPMCafe -- "The Mini Depression and the Maximum-Strength Remedy". Reich, long one of my favorite brainiacs, is always compelling, sensible, erudite, and down-to-earth in his understanding of what makes the economy work.

The wonderful Mr. Reich gives his take on the aftermath of the bailout -- The Meldown, Part 1. I don't know if it will make you feel any better...probably not...but he does offer that Obama understands the situation at hand but that any solution or easing of the panic is far away, for now.

Yikes!
