13108872, This has a lot of Bullshit in it

But the biggest is here

"The Obama administration never gave serious consideration to aggressive transformative universal policies like a public-sector employment guarantee for all Americans, a federally financed trust fund for all newborn infants with amounts dictated by a child’s parents’ wealth position, or the provision of gifted-quality education for all children. These are universal programs that can have a significant “disproportionate impact and benefit for African Americans,” in the process of helping all Americans—unlike the types of universal programs endorsed by the president."

what boils my blood is that news spaces spew stuff like this and assume that they understand all the keynesian economics behind them as if they are wave-of-wand powers that a president posses. It's not that its a bad idea, it gives zero justice of the political and economic realities of it.
