Robert Reich on a truth about politics that politicians always avoid

A very interesting article by Richard Fernandez (Belmont Club) at Pajamas Media. Fernandez tells about a shockingly truthful talk Robert Reich gave to a group of UC Berkeley students in 2007. He pointed out that for everything there is a price—which is something that politicians always avoid saying, and that the students did not like hearing. Fernandez says he doesn’t agree with all of Reich’s choices but appreciates his honesty. Then he points out that Reich’s vision of the available choices is itself limited. There is a wider possible world that Reich does not see—because of his leftism.
