Economist Robert Kuttner Warns: Social Movement Might Be Right Wing.

Economist and co-editor/founder of The American Prospect, Robert Kuttner, not only points out the obvious problems the Democrats are having resisting the influence of big money interests in congress, but worries the populist movement might end up being the free market small government sycophants, at the expense of small "d" democracy. From Bill Moyers Journal:

Kuttner: "One way or another there is going to be a social movement...and if it's not a progressive social movement that articulates the frustration, and the reform program, you know the right wing is going to do it. And that I think is what ought to be scarying us silly."
