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.

Yeah, just what a free society needs. The federal government taking a "more active role" in the economy.

This woman is frightening.

"Conspirisy wacko"

"It can't happen here"

I've heard em all. But we all Americans will feel it, when the policies are in fruition.

Truly frightening! They only let you out of your cage at night, correct?

Just joking. Your statement was spot on. Thank you, as it was broken down into easily understood terms.

You want to hear something even more frightening?

The last woman with whom I had this retarded argument with "backed up" her "facts" with--I am not kidding--"My professors said so, and they're very well-educated!"

WOW! THAT is her "research"--my professor said so!

Suetonius reports that the Emperor Claudius was so offended by the sight of a gilded chariot that he had his bodyguards stop it, and he personally demolished it with a hammer.

Envy takes strange and always dangerous forms. Next her sights Madame Ceausescu will target the salaries of doctors, reducing them to the status of government employees and cutting their salaries to less than top law school graduates.

This from a guy who drives a 2001 Corrolla and wears a $20. dollar watch from Target. (Pronounced tar-zhay.)

“If this Marxist broad ever becomes president, we’re going to see a series of events take place in America that will leave a trail of death and destruction from coast-to-coast.”

It’s called civil war.

How about a huge luxury tax, Clinton? Fiscally Retarded.

“This woman is frightening.”

She’s much, much more than that. She poses the greatest domestic danger to America in its history. Left unchecked, America cannot survive a Hildabeast presidency.

Un believable. I can’t believe she actually said these things in public. She’s not just a socialist...she’s a full-blown commie.

Here is how it will play out. Dang! The stage is nearly perfectly set for her too.

1. We’re teetering on a “recession.”
2. No stimulus package will get through congress. (dems. block any attempts)
3. Any dem. gets elected to the Whitehouse...
4. Blame gets placed on GWB, just like we blamed Clinton in 2000
5. Hillary starts to take from the American people...until it hurts. Her economic package drives us further into a recession or ultimately a depression. She gets in and within 2 years we’re in a depression. (mark my words).

And it will all be Bush’s fault, at least that will continue to be the rhetoric even after he is out of office.

It favors the wealthy, according to the fatbroad, because it leaves the wealthy with more money then the guy earning minimum wage. In liberalthink that won’t do.

I've documented the depredations of this ghastly woman ( and for whatever it's worth, I always regarded her as the worse side of "the two for one Presidency..." ) until I was blue in the face- click the Pix, scroll back, to see the latest:

Hillary must be consulting with Hugo Chavez about the proper way to destroy a nations economy with socialism.

However, the ruling class, fat evil dictators such as herself, will never live without the luxuries that are denied the serfs.
