The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Tariffs are taxes, so β€œTrump Tax” works for me.

Enjoying a tourist day in Bangkok. The chao phraya river is incredible. So much to see! Here’s Wat Arun.

We need more engineers & immigration policy should facilitate that.

We also need many other workers, in health care, construction, small business, etc.

Since our founding, immigrants with all sorts of skills have made the U.S. a better place.

Let’s not pretend only tech immigrants are worthy.
