I’ve been a Robert Reich fan for some time, and was terribly disappointed that he did not end up in the Obama Administration. Here, he gives the best 3 minutes on what the public plan is and how to get it passed I’ve yet seen.
Of course, in pointing out that good policy doesn’t just happen and that it needs work, he is singing from a hymn book I’ve been using myself for some time now.
Stay tuned . . . .
If y'all are wondering what a universe where "lock her up" style vendetta politics looks like . . .

The international political order has re-embraced the legitimacy of ethnic cleansing despite the supposed unacceptability of "the problem from hell." Turns out it's more acceptable than genuine democracy. https://t.co/fZBKtEx2kk
@haroldfeld Feld also points out that the public choice people never really did research. Check out their lame attempt to do so https://t.co/naiY2qu91B
Amplifying some points from @haroldfeld ’s essay on the FTC, public choice theory is useful, but it is invariably applied only against government action that companies oppose https://t.co/Un3giXtzg3
So good @haroldfeld. Republican Congresses have punished FTC and FCC for vigorous enforcmt (“presumption”) and rewarded them for quiescence (“humility”). We now have the agencies public choice theory predicts: accommodating of corporate power from NYC to Silicon Valley. https://t.co/ZOCNgQv4PZ
