Rockefeller dreams and politics at a jobs forum
At a Congressional Black Caucus jobs forum in Washington, Vice President Rockefeller praised citizen action but avoided full employment pledges while critics warned of high unemployment among black teens. Rockefeller, calling himself a staff man for the President, faces pressure from Rep. Charles Rangel and Rep. Shirley Chisholm to push bold economic ideas. He noted a $21 million personal pursuit of office and referenced a $35,000 designer bed as a symbol of dreaming while lawmakers push a $5 billion emergency works bill to create 200,000 jobs.
