I am not a Democrat; but I thank Secretary Clinton for her honesty and wise remarks on these matters.

Is she BASHING? or pointing out that all policies have some good and bad and we must do something because doing nothing is ALSO a choice that has results
The Vastly oversimplified difference between R and D is based on two conflicting theories that are probably both wrong but The R theory is proven by experience to be much the worst of the two
1) D : the government has a role and duty to set economic policy, tax, spend and borrow in such a way that the general economy is benefited
2) R: "free Enterprise" is "magic" and if we do nothing "everything happens for the best"
the modern economic system is only about 2-3 hundred years old. the time of the industrial revolution
MONEY IS NOT WEALTH
the only real source of wealth is cheap, clean energy (coal is cheap but not clean and has VAST hidden costs)
before about 1800 the only source of production was human muscle power which meant slavery in one form or another
learn so history and economics
Economics is called the "Dismal science"

Because Hillary Clinton has intelligence and can see clearly, something Obama is lacking in.
Hillary is a true American and loves this Country. She is well aware of the direction Obama is taking the Country and how quickly and systematically he is destroying all that America stands for.
Hillary is wise and knows when and how to play her hand. She takes her responsibility to the Country seriously and is aware that Obama is simply using the Presidency as one big vacation in his own Never-Never land.
I don't agree with Hillary on everything but I truly believe she and Bill both want the best for this Country. They are not so arrogant that they childishly make fun of, ridicule and call anyone who disagrees with them racists.
They learned the true art of compromise which Socialist Obama could never comprehend.

Watch how this works:
revenue from tariffs $5,000
$600 Revenue from each of 10 taxable salaries $6,000
Total revenue generated $11,000
theoretical Government budget requirements $10,000
Left over to go into Social Security $1,000
Now lets kill tariffs and outsource 5 jobs
$600 Revenue from each of 5 taxable salaries $3,000
Total revenue generated $3,000
theoretical Government budget requirements $10,000
Left over to go into Social Security -$7,000
So how are we going to generate the required revenue on less taxable payrolls and no tariffs to protect our small businesses?
Oh yes the only alternative there is
raise taxes on the remaining 5 payrolls.
Does this example do anything to help you see what trade deregulation policy has done to the USA? So was she really bashing Obama's policies? or is that just in your imagination?

If you're appreciative of honesty, why did you link to a video in which the author's comments state that President Obama has spent more money than all previous Presidents combined. Do you have any idea just how wrong that statement is? Bush 43 alone spent more than $20 trillion in 8 years. President Obama to date is around $6-7 trillion.

Hillary knows how to capitalize on people's sentiments of, "gee, Obama makes me long for the days of Clinton." She is far more seasoned as a politician than Obama.

I think she is trying to distance herself a bit but it is far to late for her. She works for the man and will forever be linked to him. That was her choice...Besides she is kind of a grumpy Secretary of State.

Cool I watched a video where Hillary doesn't mention anything about Obama's economic policies and some nerd rambled on about dumb crap. Thanks for the link.

Probably so that she can have a run for President next election.
How much do you want to bet that Obama will either not accept another term, or he won't be nominated?
