In
this Reich FB post he underlines a theme I've been discussing in this blog, status quo or revolution. Viva la revolution!
"Yesterday
in New Hampshire, Bill Clinton attacked Bernie Sanders’s proposal for a
single-payer health plan as "politically infeasible" and a 'recipe for
gridlock.' Bill Clinton is correct -- if we accept the current political
status quo. Every progressive idea is a recipe for gridlock as long as
big corporations, Wall Street, and the wealthy continue to dominate our
political system. If you assume Washington is not changeable and that
the vicious cycle of wealth and power dominating American politics and
economics is unalterable, Hillary will make a first-class president for
the system we now have. But if you believe Washington must be changed
and that system can be altered for the benefit of the many and not the
few, Bernie’s leadership and ideas are especially relevant because he's
heading up a political movement."
