Clinton promises end to economic excess
Houston Chronicle ^ | Jan. 21, 2008 | WIre Reports

Posted on 01/20/2008 11:14:37 PM PST by FocusNexus

Hillary Clinton said that if she became president, the federal government would take a more active role in the economy, in an effort to address what she said were the excesses of the market and the Bush administration.

She told the New York Times she would put her emphasis on issues like inequality and the role of institutions like government, rather than market forces, in addressing them.

She said that economic excesses -- including executive-pay packages she characterized as often "offensive" and "wrong" and a tax code that had become "so far out of whack" in favoring the wealthy -- were holding down middle-class living standards.

Does this mean that you’re in favor of a maximum wage as well as a minimum wage?

When I glanced at this, to me the headline read “Clinton Promises End to Economic Success”.

Freudian slip of my brain?

“It’s called civil war.”

And it’s long overdue.

At least we’ll be put out of our misery!

I’m starting to really dislike New York for foisting this leftie onto the rest of the country by giving her a launching pad in the U.S. Senate.

What she is telling the idiots that are supporting her is that if they will elect her she will soon as possible have them living under conditions that will make the living conditions in the third world nations seem luxious by comparsion.

Most of the fools that support her are independently wealthy and have never sweated except in the gym.

Both they and the United States are in for an education.

But as one wise individual is attributed to have said, “ You may not always get the government you want, but, you will always get the government you deserve.

If the people of the United States elect Hillary Roddam Clinton as President, they/ we deserve every thing she does to us.

Images of the May Day Parade through Red Square are dancing through my head.

And her economy will be just as successful.

Guaranteed she does nothing that goes after her wealthy supporters, because the moment this bitch really goes after the rich and privileged, is the day she has an unfortunate accident or sudden heart attack...

Do it bitch, I dare you !!!!

If she does win, she'll have a majority in each house to make her life a little easier.

All because Republicans stayed home during the mid terms because their candidate wasn't "conservative" enough.

she can end excess, because the tastes of white trash are, even in their excesses, much less imposing on GDP than the 5th avenue crowd.

“clinton promises end to economic excess...”

will she and her husband give back the advances and royalties on their books? will she give back the money she earned in cattle future trading? will she/he give up the speaking fees they received after leaving office? will she give up any deductions on her income tax return and pay the A.M.T., just like those “middle class” wage earners she speaks about? will she call these things excesses of the market economy?
