How very interesting to compare the sense of urgency that was supposedly needed to save the banks with the lack of comparable enthusiasm in working on a progressive labor policy. The two things are related, of course. Also, how many times have we seen the Secretary of Labor speak publicly about this compared to the number of times we have seen the Secretary of Treasury or other member of the economic team?
Clear priorities.
