Bill Foster: “I think it is--that for a long time has been one of our most effective tools.”

The good news is that macroeconomic policy is working as designed.

I have been amused for a long time at how can it be that there is legislation supported by 70 or 80 percent of the public, a clear majority of Members of Congress, and yet we are not allowed to even vote on it.

If you made it anonymous, you would allow Members to sort of probe support for centrist legislation.

I think it is my personal goal to die before we have another financial crisis, and then I will be doing my job well.
