Her plan is to drain the middle class wealth into the coffers at Goldman-Sachs. And continue the search for WMD in Iraq to try to vindicate George Bush and herself.

1)Get money from investment bankers
2) Get money from Walmart
3) get money from big oil and gas
4) get money from the big party bosses
5) discredit anyone else to run
6) if someone else runs, tell them that they ruin the party
7)Avoid answering questions
8) Don't talk about real issues
9) When questioned, answer by attacking the opposition
10)When opposed, say you are the only one with experience
11) Remember in times to say" My words were misinterpreted"
12) Talk about your terrific granddaughter

That is just my take

Mother Jones talks about it here http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2008/02/primer-obama-vs-clinton-top-10-economic-policy-issues

"As a practical matter of readability, Clinton's document is a clear 12-page report, with nonduplicative points..."

and About.com notes that her future economic priorities are well on their way to being flushed out...

http://useconomy.about.com/od/fiscalpolicy/p/Hillary_Economy.htm

"Clinton joined the (now renamed) Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, and has used that position to outline her economic agenda. From this, and earlier positions, there are enough clues about her economic platform if elected President. In a June speech, Clinton laid out three priorities: early childhood education, economic development using private/ public partnerships, and equal opportunities and pay for women. (Source: YahooNews, Clinton Addresses Education, Women and Economy, June 13, 2013; CBS News, Clinton to Focus on Economic Issues, June 13, 2013; ThinkProgess, Clinton Call on Business to Support Pre-school, June 14, 2013)"

It's pretty clear by now what's destroying the economy -- and early childhood education, private/public partnerships, and equal pay for women are not the answers. The first two look like excuses to funnel more money into private hands, while the third is a worthy objective but doesn't address our economic decline.

The first thing you have to remember is that my response was to the OP, which implied she didn't have a plan. And it was also geared at two or three snarky responses.

Now you want me to go find specific aspects of her plan or discussions that may address a particular issue. That's a lot to ask for in all that material. I will do it at some point, but not tonight.

is her plan for 2014?

Good luck with that.

What do you think of Bernie's 12-point plan?

Hillary Clinton has a helpled promote all of those in her time in the State Dept.

Tell me one of her policies that take on Big Moneys interests?

Everything Hillary Clinton is about is to make sure that the status quo is maintained

And that the rich and their wealth is enhanced - at the expense of everyone else.

Bernie hasn't declared either. But he's putting his ideas and thoughts out there. Seems The Inevitable One would have something to say.
