Hello, and Welcome to the Middle Class Task Force Blog. My name is Jared Bernstein, and I am the Executive Director of the task force and Chief Economist and Economic Policy Advisor to the Vice President.

Thank you all so much for the outpouring of ideas for the task force that we have seen since our launch last week. In just eleven days, we have received over 34,700 messages. Please keep these messages coming, as the strength of the taskforce comes from all working together to build a strong middle class. After reviewing thousands of messages, I have pulled some that reflect common themes I’ve seen throughout the submissions.


This is from the head of the new Middle Class Task Farce. You know the debacle headed up by our highly intelligent gaffer VP Biden
I thought I'd post the link to it and perhaps comment a bit on it. This guy is even better than Obama at saying nothing at all. After the introductions he goes on to mention a couple of the questions and comments being submitted by common folks. The first one was asking a definition of the middle class. A very good question if you ask me. Too bad we never got an answer.
My original intent was to use the same cut and past commentary like I do on the weekly address but I quickly realized that in this guys entire blog entry he never really answers anything! Anyway go read it if you want but don't expect to get too much from it. I'll be keeping an eye on this task farce as well as the Recovery.Org site provided they ever put anythng up there besides that cutesy "coming soon" announcement.

Well they are obvoiusly opening and reading them but judging form the chairman's blog post they aren't offering much in the way of answers.
