...he's better understood as a proponent of behavioral microeconomics, which incorporates psychological findings into analyses of economic decisionmaking....
Mark Goolsbee is involved with 'fluid' policy that attempts to 'capture' an economic strategy that works. In other words, "His backbone slips whenever the going gets tough just in case his calculator deceived him."
To Mr. Goolsbee people are as much a commodity as goods.
The equation for his economic policies won't necessarily 'benefit' working people so much as appease them. There is a difference in American policy 'that works' for Americans as opposed to policy that 'tolerates them.' Bush policy doesn't even tolerate Americans so much as eliminates them.

...NAFTA is widely opposed in economically depressed Ohio, which holds its presidential primary Tuesday and is a key battleground between Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Both candidates said in a debate in Cleveland last week that they would renegotiate the trade agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico, which is the largest trading partnership in the world, and threaten to pull out if it doesn't include more protections for workers and the environment....
In my opinion, speaking out of both sides of your mouth isn't what CHANGE is all about !!!! If they are deceptive about this, what else are they deceptive about?
