Hillary Clinton Clarifies: Actually, Businesses Do Create Jobs
mediaite ^ | 10/27/14 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 10/27/2014 5:16:54 PM PDT by Nachum

Hillary Clinton recently said at a campaign rally, “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.” Today Clinton spoke at another rally today, this one for Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, and she used the opportunity to clarify what she meant.

According to BuzzFeed, Clinton again argued that “trickle-down economics has failed” and went on to say, “I short-handed this point the other day, so let me be absolutely clear about what I’ve been saying for a couple of decades.”

And this is how Clinton explained that earlier remark:

“Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in America and workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out — not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas.”

You can watch the video of Clinton’s original comment here:

We need to stock up on pairs of flip-flops so we will be ready when she actually admits she’s running for POTUS.

When you believe in nothing you will say anything.

She’s got the ‘clarity’ disease, transit ted by contact with the slime enveloping Obama and Jarrett.

"Who are you gonna believe, me or your own lying ears?"

I don't know which is more frightening: the notion that she thinks we'll believe a flat-out lie like this or the notion that she believes it herself?

Make a political ad now and play it over and over and over again. Her remarks stand on their own and can not be walked back.

This is the smartest woman in the world? The one we want managing crises when she gets a 3 am phone call as president??

Doesn’t this get old after a while when you have to continually clarify and explain what you really meant? This sort of thing happened to her a lot during the 2008 primary campaign too.
