Public versus Private Morality

Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Labor and current Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley discusses public versus private morality.

“Mitt Romney’s reaction to J.P. Morgan Chase’s mounting losses from reckless trades is “the market will take care of it.” His spokesman says “no taxpayer money was at risk” so we don’t need more financial regulation. Romney has even promised to repeal Dodd-Frank if he’s elected president.
Yet at the same time, Romney has come out strongly against same-sex marriage. He’s also against abortion. He has no problem with government intruding on the most intimate of decisions a person makes.
He’s got private and public morality upside down. “ source
