Reich is the one who made the inappropriate remark. Liberals don't like to be called on their errors. Reich's comments suggest that the preference metrics will be skewed so that most of the funding goes to minorities. People who don't believe this are naive. The whole point of this package is to pay off the Dem base. No doubt. $800B+ is not just a stimulus bill, its a massive payoff to the Congressional Dems supporters. [And contrary to Reich's observations, there are many minorities already in the construction trades. I handle a lot of construction litigation. In the past ten years, I have had only one case that did not involve an Hispanic or person of color as the plaintiff. Most of the crews were similarly composed.] Reich wouldn't know. Harvard and Berkeley offices are a limited view of the world.
