Bill Clinton’s Economic Goals

“Magnificent” best describes Reich’s devastating exposition of the duplicity and utter failure of the (Hoover)-Reagan-Bush trickle-down economic policy.

But where is the money and the will to “invest in people’s minds and skills” to make our economy competitive in the world market and serve the basic human rights of all Americans? Neither money nor will are available as long as the U.S. remains the world’s self-appointed policeman spending 54 cents of every 1992 federal income tax dollar for wars of the past, present and future.

Unless the good Harvard professor instructs his prize pupil, Bill Clinton, to cut military spending by at least half before 1995 and redirect the savings to critical community needs, the Clinton economic plan remains a con man’s pitch.
