You get the blank stare beause you are delusional,Robert

Robert Reich, the professor emeritus of out of work bureaucrats, hired at the make work institution in the 8th largest economy in world goes to DC,and pontificates on went wrong back there.  California more than likely went wrong, nearly bankrupt,  and it is more then they can handle.

Many people asked, bewilderedly, “how did this [Trump] happen?” When I suggest it had a lot to do with the 35-year-long decline of incomes of the bottom 60 percent; the growing sense, ever since the Wall Street bailout, that the game is rigged; and the utter failure of both Republicans and Democrats to reverse these trends – they gave me blank stares.

This man has actual;y no idea who hires him and why.  He is absolutely insistent that there is some Magic Ruler, King of all Walrus in the Swamp, nearly a mental illness.  He cannot excate the glory that he was once some bureaucrat in the place.

Here is a clue fo rRobert and the other unemployables at UC Berkeley.  Jerry Brown is in the Swamp begging for handouts because the legislature promises medical care and citizenship to he world, with DC the implied back up.  Jerry also wants DC funding to haul around empty steelcars in San Jose.

Then, in the midst of this embarrassment for Jwrry, at having idiots in the legislature and almost going bankrupt; along comes Robert,  the welfare job holder at Berkeley, going back there and claiming they are hicks,not cool and smart like Berzekelites. Californians should boot that guy completely out of state,make him stay back here and cut off hisdo-re-me.
