Was he Robert Reich the Third ?Robert Reich: He served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. He was Secretary of Labor from 1993 to 1997. He was a member of President Barack Obama's economic transition advisory board. I think he knows how to count. Add up all the costs for secret service details, food, lodging, plane flights, motorcades, etc, etc, and you can chock up a lot of lolly.
