Talking to Washington Post editors, he pledged to reform Social Security and Medicare, while backing away from any urgency to pass the Employee Free Choice Act, saying there are possibly other ways to better achieve its goals.
Let me see – EFCA is about union organizing, regardless of economic conditions. It IS the best way to achieve its goal.
So, is B.O. clueless about unions, or just being disingenuous.
As for Social Security and Medicare reform, at some point, he’s either going to have to put up or shut on offering specific ideas.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
