Reich weighs in on criticism that the budget drawn up by the Democratic senators doesn't balance. "There is nothing that is particularly important about balancing the budget," Reich says. "It sounds good, but you don't really want the budget to be balanced if you have a lot of people who are unemployed or underutilized capacity. And there's no reason to balance the budget on the backs of the poor." Tune in Mon - Thursday at 8e/5p on Current TV http://current.com/shows/viewpoint/ Mar 25, 2013 8:06 PM
