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

Robert Reich (Professor of Public Policy at UC Berkeley, and former Labor Secretary) explains why this a myth, that most Americans do not live beyond their means and that their "means" have not kept up with the economy. Where has the wealth accumulated and why aren't the top of the top being surtaxed while average-earning and the poor shoulder the burden? https://twitter.com/RBReich http://robertreich.org/ Mar 13, 2013 8:20 PM

Permanent Tag: Politics Rating: Amazing Hits: 756 Comments: 8 Robert Reich Debunks 6 Big GOP Lies Robert Reich Debunks 6 Big GOP Lies Is Social Security a Ponzi scheme as Republican Presidential candidate Rick Perry claims? Noted author and former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich debunks that claim and five other lies the right-wing tells about taxes, government and the economy. The lies Reich debunks: 1) Tax cuts to the rich and corporations trickle down to the rest of us. (No it doesn't and it never has.) 2) If you shrink government you create jobs. (No, you get rid of jobs that way.) 3) High taxes on the rich hurts the economy. (No, the economy grew when the US did this under Eisenhower.) 4) Debt is to be avoided and it is mostly caused by Medicare. (No, if debt is properly used to grow the economy, it becomes a smaller part of the budget because of increased revenue and Medicare has the lowest overhead of any health insurance plan out there.) 5) Social Security is a Ponzi scheme (No, its solid for 26 years. Social Security is solid beyond that if the rich pay the same percentage in social security taxes as the rest of us do.) 6) We need to tax the poor. (This is what Republicans have been proposing when they say any "tax reform" needs to involve all Americans because poor people pay no income tax. The poor have no money and taxing them will not solve our budget problems.) Reich was speaking at the "Summit For A Fair Economy" in Minneapolis, Minnesota on September 10, 2011.
