Clinton's economic plans likely to boost her corporate donors
WashingtonExaminer.com ^ | 8/21/16 | Sarah Westwood

Hillary Clinton spent the past two weeks rolling out economic proposals that include the "biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War II" and a tax hike on corporations and the wealthy, which could create lucrative opportunities for many of the corporations that have lined her campaign coffers.

She has proposed refurbishing the electrical grid to make it "clean," and establishing a government-run bank that would steer taxpayer funds toward the private companies that are chosen to implement her projects. One ambitious aspect of her plan involves extending broadband access to every American household by 2020.

Similar efforts launched by President Obama through the 2009 stimulus package have yielded little more than boondoggles for companies that lined up to take public money. However, Clinton indicated at a campaign stop in Michigan last week that she would pursue the same formula as part of her economic agenda.

"Here's something you don't always hear enough from Democrats. A big part of our plan will be unleashing the power of the private sector to create more jobs at higher pay," Clinton said. "And that means for us: creating an infrastructure bank to get private funds off the sidelines and complement our public investments. $25 billion in government seed funding could unlock more than $250 billion."

good-paying jobs

If you pay just $39.95 I will send you my DVD showing you how I set up my own private server and made a hundred million in a few short years selling out my country.

So it is Hillipaolism where she picks and chooses who makes money from our tax dollars..”She has proposed refurbishing the electrical grid to make it “clean,” and establishing a government-run bank that would steer taxpayer funds toward the private companies that are chosen to implement her projects. One ambitious aspect of her plan involves extending broadband access to every American household by 2020.”
Vote Trump and send the Hildabeast back to the Game Farm.

Stupidity: doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result.

"Clean" the electrical grid. Killary with her cloth again? How much will this cost. Double the estimate and then ask who is paying for it?
