Your Daily Politics Video Blog: TPMtv caught up with Robert Reich, former labor secretary and UC Berkeley professor. He gives us his take on the stimulus package ("Pretty good... Maybe not an A but an A minus") and talks about how the financial crisis has to be taken as an opportunity to do more than simply get us back on the old track: "That track is filled with potholes and it's going to eventually be so slippery we fall off the cliff again."

3. he's right about 'structural issues' .

this stimulus package is still only a bandaid on a gaping wound.

nobody in wash is willing to comfront the real elephants in the living room: out of control military spending, socialized health care, and the lack of domestic industrial manufacturing.
