Hillary Clinton: "Don't Let Anyone Tell You It's Corporations and Businesses that Create Jobs"; Ten Spectacular Failures On October 24, while campaigning for Martha Coakley for governor of Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton made one of the most absurd political statements in history "Don't Let Anyone Tell You It's Corporations and Businesses that Create Jobs." Clinton continued, "You know that old theory, trickledown economics. That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly. One of the things my husband says when people say, 'What did you bring to Washington?' He says, 'I brought arithmetic.'" Wow. Just in case you think that quote is out of context, here's a video clip courtesy of Town Hall; If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, expect to see that clip, over and over and over. Is she really stupid enough to believe what she said? I leave it up to the reader to decide, but 100% without a doubt, Hillary believes big government, more regulation, and higher taxes are the key ingredients to growth. Clinton calls trickle down a "spectacular failure. I propose this 10-item alternative list. I could easily expend the list to 100 items, all of which can be attributed to buckets 1, 2, 3, and 10. Ten Spectacular Failures The Fed Fractional reserve lending Deficit spending Central bank manipulation of interest rates US foreign policy Warmongering Nation building Sanctions Public unions Politicians in general Mike "Mish" Shedlock http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com
Thanks, Spike! Didn't see it. It was at the bottom of my 2nd page, and I never pay attention to anything beyond page one. Apologies for the redundancy. I'm usually not on the forums on the weekend, preferring to live my life instead!
Hillary tries to walk it back.... Hillary Clinton clarifies jobs comment Hillary Clinton on Monday mopped up her botched statement from a rally in Massachusetts last week, making it clear she’d misspoken and hadn’t intended to deliver a fresh economic policy message. Clinton’s cleanup came as she campaigned with Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney in Somers, about 90 minutes north of New York City, after two days in which Republicans bandied the likely White House candidate’s Friday comment, made in the context of talking about trickle-down economics, on social media and the single sentence began gaining traction. “Don’t let anybody tell you that corporations and businesses create jobs,” Clinton had said at the rally in Boston, where she appeared on behalf of gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley along with Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a populist, anti-Big Banks crusader who has become the wished-for candidate from some progressives for 2016. (POLITICO's 2014 race ratings) A Clinton aide later said the former secretary of state had meant to talk about tax breaks for corporations and businesses in that sentence, which led into a line about how trickle-down economics had “failed spectacularly” — a sentiment she has long held. The overall context was clear that she had left words out of a sentence; the comment made little sense without it. But some Democrats who back Clinton said privately she appeared to be trying too hard to capture the Warren rhetoric and adjust to the modern economic progressive language — much in the way President Barack Obama did during a campaign rally in 2012, when, discussing businesses’ relationships to the infrastructure of cities, he said, “You didn’t build that.” And it highlighted a problem that has plagued Clinton in the past: overshooting in her language when she is outside her immediate comfort zone.

Really? Don't forget, millions of Americans have bought into this shit. I have no expectation that any republican can go after such idiotic comments. They don't have the balls these woman do.
