COMMENTARY
THE COFFEE KLATCH ... JANUARY 25TH 2025 Robert Reich and Heather Lofthouse Trump's Real Agenda Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wh8VaBBTKY Peter Burgess COMMENTARY I like to listen in to 'The Coffee Klutch' with Robert Reich and Heather Lofthouse. I am a little older than Robert Reich and have listened in on him going back to him being the Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton. Whenever I see / listen to Robert Reich I always also think of his Yale classmates ... Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Suptreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas! Quite a class! I find the weekly conversation between Robert Reich and Heather Lofthouse (and sometimes others) to be interesting and to some extent useful. The United States has landed in a very bad place, and it is not easy to talk about it. My own rule is that I will speak out any time I have something constructive to say ... whether or not it is in line with what President Trump is promoting. I am old (just turned 85) and have lived a full and interesting life during which time I have been involved in some way with more than 50 countries. Compared to the United States, most countries are incredibly poor. Around the world, a lot of national leaders are nasty obnoxious people ... and now the United States has joined this group of countries. Trump is a nasty obnoxious human being and will certainly do damage to the people of the United States. The only question is 'How much?'. Some countries have very good leaders ... but too many do not! During my work over several decades I worked in more than fifty countries around the world. I was able to observe a lot of serious problems and learn a lot ... but had rather little power to do much about it. Some of the work I did had substantial good impact but as to the scale that was needed, it was tiny and I did not have the 'clout' needed for the big decision makers to pay much attention. Frankly, I was like a bit of grit in the shoe, an irritation ... but nothing more. Remove the grit, and the shoe will be fine! Peter Burgess | |||||||||
