10. I love Robert Reich...
He gets it, and he says so in plain language, so that anyone else can get it, too. He makes it interesting.

And he's right. I'm in NC, where we (used to) make furniture. The people around here drive past the closed-down plant where they used to work. We lost a lot of our manufacturing jobs to China, and they haven't been replaced. High unemployment, people underemployed, people on trade retraining - who aren't counted on the unemployment rolls. At least 6 or 8 foreclosure notices in the paper EVERY WEEK for about 3 or 4 years now. No joke. Things are not good, and people know it.
