Robert Reich to New College Graduates: ‘You’re F*cked’
May 20th, 2012I’ve excerpted what I think are the key sentences.
Via: Robert Reich:
So much of what was once considered “knowledge work” – the kind that college graduates specialize in – can now be done more cheaply by software. Or by workers with college degrees in India or East Asia, linked up by Internet.

NAFTA, when it was first shat down upon us, smelled really really bad and seemed very much like it would *be* really really bad as time progressed -i mean this thing hit me like a bomb at the time. so, for this guy to now say this kind of shat [to put it nicely] as he does at a commencement address is beyond galling, it’s some sort of obscenity. one that is distinctly *not* ameliorated by any and all prior comments meant to cancel and/or squelch debate.
NAFTA can be repealed, just as easily as glass-steagal can be reinstated, and just as likely not to be.
so, looking up Reich and NAFTA now, i can only go through the first few hits before becoming overwhelmed by the stench.

We’re supposed to be listening from a man, who used to be former Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Labor, the man who was behind implementations of 1994/1995 NAFTA, and the one guy who opened paths to destroy America’s private sector’s blue collar labor and the middle-class.

Get me? The Dems shouldn’t be redebating NAFTA. They should be debating how to help Americans adapt to a new economy in which no job is safe…
