Hillary has written an article in the Wall Street Journal, titled “My Plan for Shared Prosperity.” Is it just me or does that sound just a little too, oh, Marxist:
I am running for president to bring those voices to the White House and give people a chance to achieve the American Dream: having a good job, owning their own home and living with financial security. That means tackling our toughest challenges — rising inequality, stagnating wages and a growing sense that too many middle class families are just one pink slip away from financial devastation.
So how does Her Majesty plan to do this:
- “Unless we cover all Americans, we will never end the hidden tax that the uninsured pass on to the rest of us when they end up in the emergency room and we wind up footing the bill. Of all the candidates in either party, I have the most aggressive plan to lower health-care costs.”
- “Shared prosperity also means doing something about the cost of education. My plan will make college affordable again by more than doubling the Hope tax credit, increasing Pell grants, enacting more sensible loan repayment schedules, returning to direct loans with stable and low interest rates, and allowing those who perform community service or pursue a public interest career, like teaching, to get a break on college costs.”
- “We must also encourage America’s families to save.”
- “We will fight for universal pre-school to close gaps in cognitive development. “
- “We will raise the minimum wage, expand the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and pass the Employee Free Choice Act.”
- “We’ll take on the issue of homelessness, particularly for our veterans.”
- “I will double investments in basic and applied research, extend broadband throughout our country, and encourage more women and minorities to pursue careers in math, science and engineering.”
- “In the face of high energy costs and a climate crisis, we can turn a grave challenge into a historic opportunity by developing green technologies and energy-efficiency solutions. That will drive productivity gains and help create at least five million new “green-collar” jobs over the next decade.”
Oh, and let’s not forget this gem:
And finally, to restore a climate of investment, we must end the culture of waste. That is why I believe in making government more efficient and restoring fiscal responsibility so we can pay down the debt, quit borrowing money from countries like China, and deal with long-term challenges like Social Security.
She’s going to do all this stuff, and then try to tell us that she is going to restore fiscal responsibility. How can anyone read all that garbage and still think she’s the right choice to run a potato farm, let alone the world’s lone superpower? Just thumbing through the Constitution here, and I can’t find the Article that covers encouraging America’s family’s to save as a responsibility of the president.
This is a dangerous woman. It’s rhetoric like this that could motivate me to hold my nose and vote McCain if I have to, just to keep her out of power.
