Robert ReichSomething is wrong with a country that easily passes an $858 billion defense budget with no real debate but fails to raise the minimum wage for over a decade despite nearly two-thirds of its citizens living paycheck-to-paycheck.
Scott Paton@rbreich And denies Social Security benefits to teachers even if they have paid into it.
Stan McCann@rbreich, very wrong. I don't mind defense spending but it isn't defense, it is offense.
DrVasopressin@rbreich unfortunately, what else is new!
Stephen Rockower MD@rbreich And cuts physicians' payments after being "heroes " for the past 2 1/2 years. Oh, but hospitals? Nursing Homes? Drug companies? Big raises!

Renay Grace@rbreich its absolutely appalling.
