He's changed.

CB: Sachs must be getting back to his Detroit roots. No doubt Sachs wants the third party to be a Communist Party imposing shock therapy on the bourgeoisie.

More "changiness" you can believe in ( for some reason you believe him) from somebody after they get out of power. Hey, Lawrence Summers now says he was for a bigger stimulus. Alan Greenspan came out for the federal government taking over the banking system after he wasn't fed chair anymore. Robert Reich is a rip roaring lefty since he left the government. Richard Nixon is practically a socialist now that he's dead.
