HANOVER — U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., focused on what she said were bipartisan and forward-thinking policy proposals on Sunday evening in a forum on the changing economy at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.(snip)

“We are in a new gilded age,” said Klobuchar, who in her talk also cautioned against the “dangers of big” and called for a greater review of mergers, including some that have already taken place.(snip)

Klobuchar argued that America needs to work towards “capitalism for shared prosperity” and that the country should be wary of backroom deals that diminish economic competition.

About 125 people attended the talk,

If they have a “D” after their name, nothing that comes out of their mouths can be taken seriously, since their ideology is fundamentally rotten to the core.

About 125 people attended her (cough) earth-shaking talk.

Translation......about 10 people were actual voters.

The rest were rent-a crowd who got paid to listen to her crapola.

“Klobuchar argued that America needs to work towards “capitalism for shared prosperity” and that the country should be wary of backroom deals that diminish economic competition.”

According to Amy, shared prosperity means the owners are beholden to the employees and the unions.

Capitalism for shared prosperity... sounds like Obama’s spread the wealth around and the wonderful economic policies in Venezuela that have Venezuelans eating out of dumpsters.

But you have to admit that Gillibrand gives her a run for the money in that department.

I never read it, but apparently her dad’s long running folksy column in the Star Trib is why no one will ever beat “Amy K” in Minnesota.

Still, I’m surprised every time she’s re-elected.

I mostly disagree with her characterization of US society today (although I like the part about special interests and the State, I just wish she would broaden it to include Dem special interests), but at least it’s not insane. In her view American society has problems, but she doesn’t hate her country, or want to tear it down and rebuild according to some academic’s blueprint. I could easily imagine Hubert Humphrey or FDR talking like this.

For that reason, even though as a NWM she can survive the Woke primary, she will never get anywhere in today’s Democratic Party

Fellow Freepers I read through post 13 on this thread.

Not one discussed her policy position on capitalism. We should do so and help each other to take truth and the good where we find it, even in a Democrat.

She articulates, at least on first tead, a perfectly acceptable position for true, classical conservatives on yhe need to put a reasonably regulated capitalist system in the hands of the many small businesses and to disallow big corporations to essentially run our lives like a socialist country. Google, Facebook et.al are enemies of freedom and supporters of globalism. A healthy free market conservatism would rein them in and break them up with trust busting laws..

“Cant imagine what compelled her to run.”

She’s a MN Democrat.

Like all the rest, she’s experienced nothing but praise and adoration her entire political career.
