Hillary Rodham Clinton’s recent comment about trickledown economics has launched a war of spin.
First, here’s what the likely 2016 presidential candidate said at a campaign event last Friday for Martha Coakley, the Massachusetts Democratic gubernatorial candidate:
“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” former Secretary of State Clinton said in Boston. “You know that old theory, trickledown economics. That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly. One of the things my husband says when people say, ‘What did you bring to Washington?’ He says, ‘I brought arithmetic.’

Well... Not all fairies are job creators.
I never did..................
Bill.....................
Her husband showed up here in Pittsburgh yesterday and gave virtually the identical speech (to the thrilled applause of about a thousand union knuckleheads).
So what do YOU think the Clintons REALLY believe??
In the video - notice her hesitation as she gets to the money quote.
It looks as if she was having serious second thoughts about saying what she really thought, then decided to plunge in and let the media cover for her.
What has this woman ever accomplished to make her presidential material much less a candidate. What she said was a ‘royal’ screwup, a display of her ignorance, not something taken out of context.
She is royalty to the leftists. Her highness doesn’t live among the serfs, so how is she supposed to know about these things. What does the Queen know or care if you have jobs.
Soon she will need an approved script and a Teleprompter like Obama to convey her wisdom to the serfs. Of course she can always respond with ‘I don’t recall’ when asked to clarify or explain her screwups. Egads...and this woman charges 200K or more to speak her leftist drivel at some minor event.
Nope, no more Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, Kennedys, Carters, or other representatives of their dynasties. Time to get some new names on the playing field that will lead and restore America. We need patriotism, real world experience, and moral character, not showmanship.
Sounds like Nancy Pelosi is passing the “nutcase torch” to Hillary.
She is a special kind of stupid.
Yes she is.
I was at a pool party this summer with my college age niece and nephew, they maybe wrong, but they can vote.
They think Hillary is a genius and all the baloney they have been fed over the years. So, what I am trying to say is that these young, educated folks may just put her in office.
Yeah, I don’t know of a personality more vile than this person. To hear her talk about War on Women makes me laugh and sad to realize America is not paying attention. The list of women Bill took advantage of is long. It makes me wanna shout to hear her talk with the preacher quality to her voice. Ridiculous..
“The full transcript of her remarks shows she was making the established observation that minimum wage increases can boost a sluggish economy by generating demand, and that tax breaks for the rich don’t necessarily move companies to create jobs,” writes the group Media Matters.
According to Media Matters, government control of minimum wage creates demand thus that creates jobs. This circle logic of things that just aren’t true will be the end of the US.
Supply side economics is NOT trickle down. It is truly Bottom UP! Entrepreneurs create value (supply), that value creates demand.
Progressives operate a system that captures value. Value Capture does not create growth. It ultimately ends badly.
Republicans get crucified for saying macaca, or talking about rape and pregnancy.
Hillary deserves no less for such absurd and ridiculous comments. Hillary deserves what a Republican gets for saying something so stupid.
I believe she is saying that demand creates jobs.
+++++
Their media gave her a redo wasn’t that enough for ya’?
I dunno I really felt the generation gap that day. I realized I am not the same person I was when I was 21. Sorry off subject.
Yeah we need another Reagan and boy that seems to only come up once in awhile. I wish I knew now what I did not know back when Reagan was in office.
The contrast is almost unimaginable from a person who LOVED this country to a person who wants to see it put down thown under the bus. No way!! Patriots calling all...
Hillary why did the regime spend billions in subsidies and loans to green companies so that they could create jobs?
The good old days!
She’s charismatic to the legions of dependents on the government dole that will vote for her. Not to mention the unions, teachers, and illegals.
I guess, i just don’t see it. I see a dried up old commie.
That fairy has no wings. Wingless fairies destroy jobs.
