During Hillary Clinton's 1993 visit to Capitol Hill to testify about her proposed health-care plan, she was asked by Virginia Rep. Norman Sisisky what could be done to ease the burden of the plan's mandates on small businesses. The former first lady responded in her best let-'em-eat-cake style: "I can't go out and save every undercapitalized entrepreneur in America." That it was precisely her plan that could cause an otherwise sufficiently-capitalized entrepreneur to become "undercapitalized" wasn't acknowledged by Mrs. Clinton. The message from central planning, from Hillary and her 500 hand-picked health-care advisers, was loud and clear: Go out of business if you can't pay for our vision.
Reported Time magazine at the time in "Prognosis: Fewer jobs": President "Clinton has publicly stated that health-care reform will 'boost job creation,' a claim that unnerves many of his advisers. What they know -- and some of them fear Clinton has not been told -- is that the administration's own preliminary computer-aided studies of the 'employment effects' of health reform predict 'significant' job losses." From various quarters, the projected amount of job destruction wasn't small. "Time has learned that according to one computer run, the plan would slow net employment growth by as many as 1 million jobs over the next five years. The National Federation of Independent Business, the nation's largest small-business organization, has estimated that 1.6 million jobs will be lost over five years. A new study, financed by restaurant owners, forecasts losses of 3.1 million." From inside the White House, more optimistically, Laura Tyson, the administration's chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, estimated employment losses from Mrs. Clinton's employer mandate at one half of 1 percent of the labor force, or roughly 600,000 jobs.

Hillary is MARXISM and STALINISM looking for a place to happen. Wake up America before it is too late.
Shared scarcity. It was developed in the Soviet Union, perfected in Cuba. Its exactly what the Clintons have in mind.
I love it that Hannity was going after her about Juanita Broderick this week. I think that single issue could bring her down.
She must NOT be allowed to simply ignore the question, because THERE IS NO ANSWER that will be good for her.
(Is it True? Did she know? Did she try to silence Juanita? Is Juanita a liar? etc etc...)
Radio or TV? Details?
When it’s OK for democrats to call black people names and pretend to care about them in order to get elected, that proves the point.
There is a gimme attitude in this country and it comes from those not willing to work for what they want. They think it’s OK to take it from others. It’s called stealing.
It will be interesting to see what happens if they get their socialist utopia. When the lemmings continue to pick $hit with the chickens and the rich politicians who hide their money offshore like Kennedy, Kerry and Pelosi et all, we will find out just how happy the little people are with the so called elites.
Very interesting indeed.
Even if that evil witch becomes President, I doubt she’d be able to get Hitlerycare through Congress with Democratic majorities.
I mean, has Hillary gotten any real legislation through the Senate, other than her ban on cockfighting?
