    Mr. Reich, do you need to sit down and organize your thoughts before you make these videos, or are you comfortable enough to just turn on the camera and GO?

    The impression of the European at 2:49 was AMAZING; nice to see where your son Sam's comedic abilities might come from.

    Jakob,

    I try to organize them -- at least to the extent I know roughly what I'm about to say -- but not the the point where I'm "scripted." And thanks for the nice words about my comedic inclinations. I owe it all to Sam.

    So is it wise to buy a house before this recession or to wait until it hopefully passes?

    I'm tired of having landlords.

    It's probably best to wait right now.

    Mr. Reich, I believe it has been quite a while since the Fed last cut rates-- 2003? Their concern has been inflation, and lately they have been hesitant to change the rates at all. Their latest statement seems to say that they really do not know what is going on. Do you think they will finally make a change in the near future or is the economy still too difficult to read?
  • Robert Reich 3 years ago
    They still believe inflation lurks, like a ghost visible only to those who fear it most. Yet in a global high-tech economy, where unions are weak and firms are afraid to raise prices, inflation is not nearly as much a danger as stagnant or declining wages.
