Now today — today, as the shadow of crisis recedes and longer- term challenges come into focus, I believe we have to build a growth and fairness economy

What the heck does that even mean? The shadow of crisis isn't receded, it looms very large over nearly half the citizenry. And its shadow is stretching larger ever still as the sun sets on the American dream.

Fairness, progressive fairness, is nothing but distributive labor for the social good. We can’t create enough jobs and new businesses without more growth, and we can’t build strong families and support our consumer economy without more fairness. We need both. She is running on the consumer economy, so that is more low wage jobs. Or to interject the progressive wage fairness modal here, she's talking about raising minimum wage. I often quote Royal Meeker in discussions regarding minimum wage, as the quote speaks truth to the Democrat White Privilege. She is selling nothing more than the continued and greatly widened idea of government controlled eugenics.

Corporate profits are at near record highs and Americans are working as hard as ever. But paychecks had nearly budged in real terms. Families today are stretched in so many directions, and so are their budgets. Out of pocket costs of health care, child care, hearing for aging parents, are rising a lot faster than wages.

All of that is true, but companies are not going to invest in the current economic climate created by the last 8 years. That money will flow back into the American economy when we're no longer discussing or focusing on a "consumer" driven economy. A consumer driven economy heavily regulated by government isn't going to make anything more affordable, this is not American capitalism. The economic problem is not wages, fairness, etc. to address the economic problem one must ask why corporate profits are being invested elsewhere, held, or distributed to those who are working.

Hillary’s ‘growth economy’, in other words - jobs creation, is the same as Obama’s (and all other socialists’). And Obama’s doing nothing else but creating more rules/regulations, bureaucrats and other hanger-ons. That is why we should point it out to the Dems that Obama’s policy (policies) had not just failed, but failed epically.

Jobs created by the government is paid for by taxpayer money, and how that makes sense (to actually increase the revenue) in a socialist economy is never explained. It is always evil corporates or top 1% blah blah blah......

America needs to realize that one of the first signs of dementia is believing anything that comes from the mouth of anyone named Clinton who has been seen on television and is NOT connected to Parliament Funkadelic in any way.

“What the heck does that even mean? The shadow of crisis isn’t receded, it looms very large over nearly half the citizenry.”

Are you British? You seem to have a penchant for understatement. It seems to me that the shadow of crisis looms over all of us, INCLUDING the mindless hag who made that statement. Who can feel secure now? Not even the richest man on Earth in my opinion and he may be the most insecure of all.
