Obama economic adviser Robert Reich

A top economic adviser to President Obama has told a congressional panel the billions of dollars in the proposed economic stimulus plan should be allocated with social issues in mind, to make sure the money doesn't go to just "white male construction workers" or the highly skilled.

Robert Reich, who served as labor secretary under President Clinton, was speaking to the House Steering and Policy Committee Jan. 7 about funding infrastructure projects across the nation.

"It seems to me that infrastructure spending is a very important and good way of stimulating the economy. The challenge will be to do it quickly, to find projects that can be done that will have a high social return, that also can be done with the greatest speed possible," Reich said.

"I am concerned, as I'm sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers," he said.

The hearing took place two weeks before Obama was inaugurated.

"I have nothing against white male construction workers," Reich said. "I'm just saying there are a lot of other people who have needs as well.

"There are ways in which the money can be, criteria can be set so the money does go to others, the long term unemployed, minorities, women," he said.

Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., appeared to agree, suggesting federal money be directed to specific groups of people.

The federal government, he said, must "remove the discretion" about where the funds go, or what projects would be involved, even to the point of eliminating any input from governors or state legislatures.

Reich agreed: "Governors ought to be, should be given a choice of signing on the bottom line or not."

Then Rangel noted the "middle class" would be unlikely to create any opposition to funds directed to minorities.

"One thing that you can depend on, you don't have to be worried about what the middle class is going to do. Things are so bad, they have to put food on their tables, get clothes for their kids, get them in school," he said.

Who is Barack Obama REALLY? Get the book that says his "change" is designed to uproot American culture and replace it with the failed, secular, socialist policies of the past.

Commentator Michelle Malkin said Reich's statements expose "the lie that the Obama administration is actually interested in revitalizing basic infrastructure for the good of the economy."

"No, what Team Obama really wants is to ensure that the least skilled, least qualified workers get jobs based on their chromosomes and pigment," she said.

Malkin cited Reich's own blog, where the Obama adviser wrote of the economic stimulus plan: "I'd suggest that all contracts entered into with stimulus funds require contractors to provide at least 20 percent of jobs to the long-term unemployed and to people with incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level."

This, Malkin wrote, is "spoken like a true-blue wealth redistributor. The 'needs' (read: demands) of politically protected minorities trump the need for competently build roads and bridges."


Reich's blog headline

On his blog, Reich makes his case for, "The Stimulus: How to Create Jobs Without Them All Going to Skilled Professionals and White Male Construction Workers."

"At least 2 percent of project funds should be allocated to such training. In addition, advantage should be taken of buildings trades apprenticeships -- which must be fully available to women and minorities," he wrote.

Race already has become an issue several times in the Obama administration.

As WND reported, Democratic Party strategist Donna Brazile admitted she swiped Obama's complimentary blanket from his inauguration ceremony and then joked it was not a criminal offense because, "We have a black president ... this was free."

Outrage also erupted over the inauguration benediction by Rev. Joseph Lowery, the 87-year-old civil rights pioneer, for asking God to help mankind work for a day when "white would embrace what is right."

Obama reacted to the benediction with a smile.

Where are the so called white construction workers in South Florida? I want them to show me that. The large construction sites were full of illegals when business was booming. In fact little English was spoken. When they finished the concrete for one condo in Aventure they put up a Mexican flag. Who ever came up with the comment white construction workers really needs to put down the crack pipe.

So much for bringing the country together. I guess that this means that our jobs will go to illegal aliens. How else can you take this. I really really really am so sorry that this jerk, oh I mean god, got elected. We really need third party. Time to start planning.

This is totally discriminatory and unconstitutional, and I just sent it to Lou Dobbs.

Looks like Loneprotester has a new enemy :cry: :cry: :cry:


I have two related questions:

1) how quickly do you think it would take the riots to begin if it was said the money should not go to blacks, or Asians or Latinos? How long before discrimination and racism would be shouted from the mountaintops?

2) How is this any different?

Mr Rangel wasn't been to California ether, most of the construction jobs are done by illegals. The last time "minority" businesses had priority higher bids were excepted and done by people who aren't qualified. What a joke we pay more for less....

Our local KFI has way to many immigrants laying brick for their new restaurant.

THIS IS SO THEY CAN RETAIN LOTS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!!!!

This is also GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATION.

How about no more JEWISH Obama administrators?

How about no mixed race Presidents?

As far as I am concerned, the GLOVES ARE OFF!!

Are they hiring the largest under paid minority of all the "white female"?

Nice to see that Liberal Nazi Third Reich in full swing with his left-wing brand of racism.

Repeat after me: I hate white people.

I hate white people.

I hate white people.

"But I have nothing against white male construction workers..."

Really... Cough, Cough. I am not a "puke" racist.

When are we finally going to see the last of that despicable pile of crap Reich and his evil brand of abuse.

The Obama White House is off to a horrible start if that satanic dwarf is allowed to infect the government again...

Isn't is the white man owned corporation and small business owners hiring the illegals, PARTLY? Donald Trump, should be asked? Then asked the Jews, Catholics, School Systems, and of course our governments should be hiring Americans First without looking at race.

It isn't. But America is going through a very dark period right now and if you do not show hatred for White Males you could lose your job.

It is just like the Salem witch trials. Everyone back then was scared to death of being accused of being a witch so they would point the finger at anyone odd or different to scape goat someone else. In this despicable evil time we are going through, in polite company you are expected to indicate how much you "hate White Males". You "hate America".

You just simply hate hate hate and keep hating. Hate everything while this country goes down the toilet and becomes the laughingstock of the rest of the world.

What, you don't hate White People? Aren't you worried that I will report you to a Liberal?

God Bless America. Ya right.

Discrimination against "white male" CITIZENS... but lets FREELY GIVE TO ILLEGALS...WHO SHOULD NOT BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Robert Reich has always been a huge supporter of offshoring American jobs to other countries.

That's the "Democratic Party Way". You can hear it in the harpee like shriek of Hillary Clinton. They mean to take down White Males no matter who gets hurt in the process. The only White Males left standing will be those willing to work as slaves, 80 hours a week for minimum wage.

It is the dried out, crusty, mold-filled politics of the Left that threw this country into a downward spiral to begin with and now Obama is treating them as the vanguard of a new idea filled government.

"white male construction workers"

from the sounds of things up there it surprises me that those still exist


i apologize for my surliness its just that i am a woman and we've been discriminated against since the beginning of time so this all strikes me as hilarious

Although I do agree Rich Companies such as Haliburton should not be allowed to participate in the recovery program,excluding "White Male Americans" instead of "Illegal Immigrants" is the most Racist act I have ever witnessed !! :evil:

Reich seems to forget how many "White Male" Americans died helping save his race from extinction during WW II. :evil:

I am personally outraged that race even has to be brought in to this issue. This should be for anyone regardless of race. Is this the kind of change we can expect out of the Obama administration? I personally think this country has had enough of our own government racially dividing us all. You would think that Obama out of all people would put an end this this in his own administration.

mmmm, yes one would hope, but from what I have seen so far, the race issue has only heated up. The race rhetoric has been more intense than ever and as a white American I am more concerned than ever. I have stated this before, but if Obama is the leader everyone has built him up to be, he is going to have his plate full putting out "race fires" all over. If he was smart he would do whatever it takes to tamp this kind of talk down NOW!!!

I am sick to death of the discrimination that is abounding regarding "white people." As far as "women"... if the women that are daughters are suppose to look up to are Hillary, Pelosi,Fienstein, etc., I am not very proud...and I would let my children know... that they are just as dirty and corrupt as many of the men, whether they be black, white, brown, red or yellow or a woman!

Has TALK RADIO been on to this issue? I have not heard anything.

They know they can attack the white-working class people because they are the ones who voted for McCain/Retardicans.

This makes me so sick. If a white person were to say something like this to a minority, he would be pretty much tarred and feathered by every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, but yet it's ok for a minority to be racist. I'm sick and tired of this PC bulls--t that whites supposedly have the market cornered on racism and whites are suppose to hate themselves because of some BS that happened decades and even centuries ago that we had nothing to do with, but a minority can get away with saying something racist about whites. That to me is racism.

It's only racism if whitey says it. I'm so sick of these ethnic hustlers and white gultists that have made this country the way it is right now. How about if your going to blast someone for being racists, do it to everyone regardless of race and gender? Equal crime, equal time, not hold whitey to a double standard. Not that I'll hold my breath on that one.

Oh and as for Reich's comments. If the moron would step out of his gated community for longer than 5 minutes he would know that most of the people doing construction work are illegal Mexicans/Latinos, not Whites. At least get your facts straight if your going to make an asinine, arrogant statement like that you racist idiot.

Whites have only built this country from the ground up, no big deal, if we just get rid of all of them, the country would be so better off. Yeah whatever. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Lou is hot on this right now on his radio show. I sent it to him last night.

Great work! I have gotten about 3 copies of this from other groups as well. Looks like it is making it's rounds and fast. Maybe this will put some heat on Obama to have some back bone.

This is on Fox News right now. Neil Cavuto is talking to Michele Malkin about it.

I am listening to it.

Micheal Savage is talking about it now also.

Here you guys. It's right on Robert Reich's blog. Read the comments and add your own. :D

The Stimulus: How to Create Jobs Without Them All Going to Skilled Professionals and White Male Construction Workers

The stimulus plan will create jobs repairing and upgrading the nation's roads, bridges, ports, levees, water and sewage system, public-transit systems, electricity grid, and schools. And it will kick-start alternative, non-fossil based sources of energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and so on); new health-care information systems; and universal broadband Internet access.

It's a two-fer: lots of new jobs, and investments in the nation's future productivity.

But if there aren't enough skilled professionals to do the jobs involving new technologies, the stimulus will just increase the wages of the professionals who already have the right skills rather than generate many new jobs in these fields. And if construction jobs go mainly to white males who already dominate the construction trades, many people who need jobs the most -- women, minorities, and the poor and long-term unemployed -- will be shut out.

What to do? There's no easy solution to either dilemma. But there's no reason to think about "green jobs" as simply high-tech. Many low-income and low-skilled workers -- women as well as men -- could be put directly to work providing homes and businesses with more efficient and renewable heating, lighting, cooling, and refrigeration systems; installing solar panels and efficient photovoltaic systems; rehabilitating and renovating old properties, and improving recycling systems. "Green Jobs Corps" teams could be trained to evaluate and advise homeowners and businesses on these and other means of conserving energy.

People can be trained relatively quickly for these sorts of jobs, as well as many infrastructure j0bs generated by the stimulus -- installing new pipes for water and sewage systems, repairing and upgrading equipment, basic construction -- but contractors have to be nudged both to provide the training and to do the hiring.

I'd suggest that all contracts entered into with stimulus funds require contractors to provide at least 20 percent of jobs to the long-term unemployed and to people withincomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. And at least 2 percent of project funds should be allocated to such training. In addition, advantage should be taken of buildings trades apprenticeships -- wich must be fully available to women and minorities.
