I want to apologize for Robert Reich's latest blog article, it is so stupid his blog is being removed from the right two columns.

All I can say is "Gasp", Robert Reich is wrong as wrong can be. His blog article... How Obama Can Convince Congress to Enact a Larger Stimulus, and Why He Must. Is just outrageously wrong.
-------------------------------
I have a suggestion Mr. Reich,
GO AFTER THE BANKS AND MAKE THEM STOP CHARGING INTEREST ON EXISTING CREDIT CARD DEBT FOR CUSTOMERS WHO ARE PAYING DOWN THEIR CREDIT CARD DEBT.
A credit card interest rate incentive program would create an impactful, instant and worthwhile stimulus package. It would create 15-25 billion dollars a month going to YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOUR PLUMBER, YOUR LANDSCAPER, YOUR LOCAL BUILDER, BEFORE the money goes back to the bank to pay down a debt, AND, it would involve NO TAXPAYER MONEY!

I am about the only one I know who is advocating the no interest rate credit card pay down program. I have virtually a 100% pay on time credit card history so I'm not advocating something that has penalized me the way it has penalized others who are paying horrendous credit card interest rates and treading water as a result.

We are being robbed of neighborhood money so that it can stay on Wall Street and be handed back and forth between Wall Street and the politicians they elect. Robert Reich, you are a sell out.

R.I.P. Robert Reich's Blog.

(Edit note, Sept.22, 2009 approximately 1 to 2 weeks after writing this article for the September 2, 2009 DailyPUMA edition, Robert Reich's blog returned to it's prior format, which included allowing comments, and amazingly enough, the content seems to have gone back to being more about what is really going on than simply supporting the Barack Obama administration. Glad to have you back, Mr. Reich)

I only discovered Robert Reich's blog around a month or two ago. I was in awe at how dynamic and uncaring of WHO was in power as Mr. Reich's articles seemed to rely on truth and consequences.

In one article, Mr. Reich took a shot at those who were trumpeting the economy as if it was already recovering, and I found that refreshing. A pundit with a purpose other than to tote the political line.

Just as importantly, Mr. Reich ALLOWED COMMENTS under each of his blogs article.

About a two weeks ago I noticed the vibrantly independent Mr. Reich seeming to switch back to supporting more and more of the democratic party line talking points.

To my utter dismay, when I checked in a couple of days ago, NO COMMENTS from readers were allowed, and those from prior articles appear to have disappeared as well.

May I now add, R.I.P. to Mr. Reich's blog for disabling comments. I guess it makes sense that once one closes ranks and becomes either a republican or a democrat clone, allowing comments from readers may prove embarrassing as they are the ones that will begin to notice the shift in content analysis from what will help america to what will help their own party.

It appears Mr. Reich, that you have become, "one of them". I don't know how much longer Mr. Reich's blog will remain on DailyPUMA as the quality of his writing seems to have suffered now that the Stepfordian Syringe has been inserted and the numbing "we good, they bad" vaccine has been applied.
