Discussing some of the common right wing arguments from "government gets in the way", "trickle down economics", "social security is a ponzi scheme", "reducing government creates jobs", and much more.
What I like about Reich in clips like this is that he tries to pull familiar political slogans back into the real world. It is easy to say government is always the problem, or that tax cuts always create jobs, or that Social Security is somehow the same thing as a Ponzi scheme. Those lines sound simple, which is why they travel so well.
But the economy is not simple, and slogans usually hide the tradeoffs. If we want a serious debate, we have to ask who benefits, who pays, and whether the argument matches what actually happened. That is why these points are worth revisiting instead of letting them pass as common sense.
