Election 2016: Debate moderator Chris Wallace was widely praised for his performance in Wednesday night's debate, praise that he richly deserves if for no other reason than that he finally forced Hillary Clinton to defend her economic plan. Clinton's response was incoherent and downright dishonest.
A key exchange in the debate came when Wallace pressed Clinton to explain how her economic proposals were different from President Obama's failed stimulus plan. She couldn't.
Wallace asked: "So is your plan basically more — even more of the Obama stimulus?" To which Clinton responded "Well, it's a combination, Chris."
Clinton can't say anything else because, in point of fact, just about every one of her proposals has already been tried during Obama's first two years in office, when Democrats controlled the White House and Congress, and was found wanting.
Tax hikes on the rich? Check. A huge increase in infrastructure spending? Check. More college aid? Check. "Advanced manufacturing"? Check. Green energy subsidies? Check.
The result is the worst recovery since the Great Depression.

It has been largely overlooked but she really blamed Bush for the bad economy. When Obama got in, the economy was so terrible that it was just too hard to fix, dagonne it! But she will!
Trump should call her out on “investing”.
It means increasing everyone’s taxes. It means taking money out of your pocket. It means giving money to government bureaucrats. It means spending government money on pork-barrel projects in order to win political favors from political allies.
When Hillary says “investing” she isn’t talking about economic growth or making the country better. She just wants to engage to more patronage. Her plan is focused on screwing you in order to benefit herself.
Her plan will be whatever she's told it will be ... by the people at Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street investment banks who hold the other end of the leash she wears around her neck.
She also claims her economic plan wouldn’t add 1 penny to the debt. She’s right, of course....because it’s projected to add 9 trillion pennies! She learned from the best of the liars, her hubby. I still remember his SOTU speech back in the 90s when he declared “not a single solitary Chinese missile is aimed at an American city.” Actually, there were about 9.
Science has really advanced. Now they can tell a Democrat by their DNA.
It’s the one lacking the Truth and the Conscience genes.
It has been largely overlooked but she really blamed Bush for the bad economy. “””
What would Bush’s end economy numbers been like IF 9-11 hadn’t happened & we hadn’t gone after Hussein?
She learned from the best of the liars, her hubby. I still remember his SOTU speech back in the 90s when he declared “not a single solitary Chinese missile is aimed at an American city.” Actually, there were about 9.””
How about Jesse Jackson’s speech at the Dem convention?
Something like:
Under Obama, there hasn’t been ONE SINGLE JOB LOST IN ONE SINGLE MONTH....
Lies—everything they say is lies.
When she responded I said to myself “This is exactly what Obama said in 2008.” Except Obama and Biden couldn’t agree on whether it was those who make $250,000 wouldn’t get a tax increase or $200,000.
Hillary also needs to be reminded that Obama finally admitted “Those shovel ready jobs weren’t as shovel ready as we thought.” When he said that all the reporters thought it was funny. They just laughed and laughed and laughed. “The king made a joke. We must all laugh.”
She can’t tell the truth when she does she blacks out.
She DID reveal her economic plan. Twice she promised to eat the rich.
