Bruce Reed, who encouraged and helped Bill Clinton to inflict more suffering on the poor, is now being considered by Biden for a White House position where he would have plenty of influence to do more of the same.

Biden proudly announced that he considers the number of progressives he has chosen for his administration significant.

That is an exaggeration, but more important is the concentration of center-right plutocratist or militarist Democrats he has already chosen or is considering.
