ICYMI: Clinton’s Newest Empty Jobs Promise
Trump-Pence ^ | August 14 2016 | Trump Campaign

Posted on 08/14/2016 1:07:47 PM PDT by euram

Please read the following excerpts from “Why would anyone believe Hillary’s promise of 10 million jobs?” by The New York Post’s Editorial Board, 8/14/16

Hillary Clinton was scheduled to lay out her economic plans Thursday but instead spent much of her time bashing Donald Trump — and offering little of anything new.

No wonder: She has so little to offer, at least when it comes to jobs.

Clinton did repeat her claim Thursday that her economic plan would create 10.4 million jobs by 2026. She has said 640,000 of these will be in New York.

Ha! New Yorkers are still waiting for the 200,000 jobs she promised for upstate back in 2000, when she was running for the Senate.

Anyone who buys her new promises probably also believes she had no classified e-mails on her home-brewed server.

It doesn’t account for the cost of her programs. A Tax Foundation analysis of the net impact says Clinton’s plan would actually shrink the economy 1 percent and produce 0.8 percent lower wages — and 311,000 fewer jobs.

What do you expect? All told, Hillary’s tax hikes would suck $1.3 trillion from taxpayers’ pockets. How on earth is that supposed to create jobs?

And Clinton herself doesn’t pretend any new jobs on her watch would be true, private-sector-generated jobs.

Fact is, she’s really more interested in growing government than jobs. Which is too bad: With years of weak wage growth and record numbers of people out of the labor market, polls show Americans rank job-creation among their top priorities.

Yet all Hillary can do is make more of the same empty promises she’s already broken.

Obama created 10 million jobs?

WHERE?

I noticed that the NYT "helpfully" explained that yes, we have the lowest workforce participation rate in history, 96 million people not working, but that's because of "retirees" and millennials (born 1980-1995) not quite getting their "feet wet" yet in the workforce.

Really?

Have we always counted retirees as the unemployed/underemployed?

And honestly, someone born in the 1980s hasn't found a career path yet?

I'd think by the time you're in your 30s, you'd have SOME kind of real job.

This is how the NYT is ever so Johnny on the spot to tell us how wonderful a 4.9% unemployment rate is.

Even though by definition, someone working two minimum wage jobs counts twice, and people who have given up looking for work don't count at all.

This is how they bashed Trump for "lying" about the economy.

Trump said that black teen unemployment is around 40-50%

Again, the NYT to the rescue: "The bigoted Donald Trump AGAIN made a pants on fire allegation. The REAL black teen unemployment rate is actually 36%. So, the white supremacist Trump's claims don't hold up, etc."

Since Bill’s Nafta, she and her fellow globalist have been promising ‘New High Paying Jobs’, not a single Presstitute has asked,”Give us an example?”.

Obama has DOUBLED the National Debt in 8 years, and we still have roughly zero actual growth.

It was never about growth with zero.

It was redistribution of the treasury, which he delivered.

With the snake, asking her questions will do no good, she lies through her forked tongue.

Debating her will do no good, because, again, she lies though her forked tongue, and debate moderators will aid and abet her.

Hell, they obtain the questions from her offices.

The only thing to do is repeatedly shine the light on her words and actions, the ones she has already said and did, and continuously show them to be what they are, empty rhetoric and filler, yada yada yada, while the media holds her up as the heroine of the 21st century.

Jill Stein (12%, 14,417 Votes)
Gary Johnson (11%, 13,430 Votes)
Hillary Clinton (7%, 8,295 Votes)
Darrell Castle (0%, 562 Votes)

Total Voters: 121,946

Go Trump !
