In her presidential bid, Hillary Clinton has made job creation a centerpiece of her platform, casting herself as a pragmatist who would inspire “the biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War II.’’
Her argument that she would put more Americans to work has focused on her time in the Senate, when she took on the mission of creating jobs in chronically depressed Upstate New York. As her husband, former president Bill Clinton, put it recently, she became the region’s “de facto economic development officer.”
But nearly eight years after Clinton’s Senate exit, there is little evidence that her economic development programs had a substantial impact on upstate employment.
Despite Clinton’s efforts, upstate job growth stagnated overall during her tenure, with manufacturing jobs plunging nearly 25 percent, according to jobs data..
Reminds me of what would happen if the sickly bitch tried to ascend a set of stairs without help.
Her lie was meant to get her elected and it worked perfectly.
Someone cue the video of her falling flat on her face when boarding her plane.
There is a nice sign along Rote 81 about the 200,000 non-jobs.
It’s ‘the’ critical WashPost article of the election season!
Now, they can concentrate full time on getting her elected.
I believe it was 250,00 high paying jobs. When she was asked how? Her response was; “Through my connections”. Well she did manage to bring in a chicken processing plant somewhere near Buffalo, it employs a lot of Somalians. (So I have been told by an anonymous source a couple of years ago.) I could only take 4 years of her, I left in 04’.
Bill Clinton’s signing NAFTA killed upstate New York.
Hellary got her votes in downstate New York City from libs.
She really never brought home the Bacon to New York City.
I think all she did was rename some streets.
Since when do Senators create jobs?
Her sole accomplishment after 8 years as a Senator in New York State,
..was to name a post office.
Nothing else !!
The only other thing from her 8 years as Senator was ,....
You forgot her self accomplishments, meaning hundreds of millions of them, for political and corporate favors, all going thru the Clinton Foundation. After all, Libya is her baby. Wasn’t that long ago, being a “Public Servant” meant that, not as a way to become as wealthy as a “Rock Star” or “Hollywood Movie Star”. What if our enlisted began behaving as our public servants, lawlessness for personal financial gain and all the power you can ever want. Just a thought.
The anti-fracking crowd killed off what could have been a resurgence for Broome/Tioga Counties and surrounding areas. Binghamton is and economic disaster....
My husband and I just started an HVAC business.
Crickets.
But NYS has it’s hand out at every corner; fee this, insurance that. I guess my tax return is gonna look pretty good this year. I might actually get a refund—I know shocking!
