Reich-teousness! Former Clinton admin Labor Sec'ty endorses Bernie Sanders

From his Facebook timeline, UC Berkeley Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy Robert Reich declared today,

I endorse Bernie Sanders for President of the United States. He’s leading a movement to reclaim America for the many, not the few. And such a political mobilization – a “political revolution,” as he puts it -- is the only means by which we can get the nation back from the moneyed interests that now control so much of our economy and democracy.

This extraordinary concentration of income, wealth, and political power at the very top imperils all else – our economy, our democracy, the revival of the American middle class, the prospects for the poor and for people of color, the necessity of slowing and reversing climate change, and a sensible foreign policy not influenced by the “military-industrial complex,” as President Dwight Eisenhower once called it. It is the fundamental prerequisite: We have little hope of achieving positive change on any front unless the American people are once again in control.

I have the deepest respect and admiration for Hillary Clinton, and if she wins the Democratic primary I’ll work my heart out to help her become president. But I believe Bernie Sanders is the agent of change this nation so desperately needs.

This is a Higgs Boson level Bull's-eye.

Democratic party apparatchiks need to wake up. There is only one choice for President that will be at all meaningful.

There are plenty of indicators and warning signs are all about.

If we nominate and then elect Bernie Sanders, we will be able to celebrate, but if we nominate Hillary (and thus enable a Republican siege on the White House), we will with pronounced anguish lament that we "have the government we deserve."

Today it is a case of the grasshopper pitted against the elephant. But tomorrow the elephant will have its guts ripped out. Le Loi, Vietnamese emperor, 15th Century.
