Locked in the Cabinet

Written by the 22nd Labor Secretary of the linked States Robert Reich, Locked in the Cabinet appears to be written with noble goals and intentions. That is, to bridge the widening gap amongst the rich and the poor.Robert Reich is a friend of former United States prexy flyer Clinton for 25 years and ended having extremely opposing views.He turned out to be a disillusioned member of Clintons cabinet. He leveled out the failure of Clintons administration to fulfill its think aims and employments for the benefit of its constituents.The book was packaged like a journal with entries with their specific dates. The journal was dated on the four year span of the first term of Bill Clinton. The book displays a fragmentary-like form of a daily account with the specified time when the event occurred. In this book, he used a chemical chain of metaphors to present his points in a creative way, perhaps.In the book, Clinton was treated with hesitation. Reich did not deliberately stated Pres ident Bill Clinton in the book. He would refer to a certain Bill who, he state, his longtime friend. He was, perhaps, also considering their friendship while criticizing the leadership of his very own close friend.It is commendable that Reich aims for bridging the gap between the rich and poor. He stressed his being a liberal who has always been ready to fight for the veraciouss of their constituents.For him, being liberal is giving an individual his rights. He stressed the immensity of giving such because it is the main role and function of the government, anyway.As a liberal labor secretary, he advocated the rights of every practiceer especially their right for a wage increase. He even tried to convince company owners and manufacturers notto use their powers against the touch workers. These workers are just airing their rights and sentiments, in the first place.Pertaining to the legitimate role and functions of the government in a private enterprise economy, he stressed out t he role of the government on giving the limitless benefits that a worker should have.He pushed for wage increase among the workers in the United States. He stressed the importance of some sort of government intervention in pushing for the rights of the workers.Even if Clinton is his longtime and close friend, it did not stop him in voicing out his criticisms towards Clintons unsatisfactory leadership through his book.He said that Clintons administration did not know what should be prioritized and seemed to forget what the purpose of his coming to Washington. He link up that Clinton had the leadership but did not have the enough courage to take effect what is best for the people. provided then, his disappointment over Clintons policies and administration has always been overshadowed by his affection towards his longtime friend.He views coetaneous American policies as a disaster which does not actually respond to the actual needs of their constituents. He bluntly criticized everyth ing he thinks not in the right place.I totally agree with his concept of liberalism. He cares for the liberation of every individuals rights. He put forth the importance of giving everyone of what is ascribable to him. As a statesman, it just right for him to have the heart for the oppressed and not for the oppressor. He has showed perplexity for the advantage of the people.It is just that he was locked in the cabinet. He implied that limitations of being a member of a cabinet. It tycoon appear that cabinet members have all the power to take effect pro-people policies and actions, but then, they are subjected to the bureaucracys approval.He used many underlying themes in his book. This somewhat gave a twist on the sharp opinions that he wants to present.He admitted that he is indeed a frustrated secretary who wished that everyone would hear his and the parliamentary procedures plight.Reichs book is really informative. It is amazing how he is able to present such contentious re velations given that Clinton is his very close friend. He presented his point bravely leaving no missed point behind.I guess he just showed an objective setting of the situation of Clintons administration and the United States government system in general, particularly to the labor sector.With no doubt, he showed, through his book, his deep look up for people.On the other hand, the book, behind its impressing underlying themes, also received criticisms, perhaps from those who were behind the administration of Clinton. They claimed that Reichs work was just like a fictional work and even claimed that it is a mere propaganda. They added that Reichs claim were not realistic at all.Well, I guess, they just have to see the bigger picture. I believe that Reich has noble goals and aims as he presented his points in the book.Undeniably, Reichs book deserves a commendation. He did his work well as the labor secretary fighting for the workers rights.People in the government should get a copy of his book immediately.ReferenceReich, R. (1997).
