Hillary "I'm a Progressive that likes to get things done" - Income Inequality

[FreakinDJ]

Hillary's DLC/3rd Way policies are just a way of saying "Republican-Lite Economic Policies for America's Working Poor"

The Great Divide with Joseph Stiglitz and Robert Reich

Economist Joseph Stiglitz and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich reminisce about opposing “corporate welfare” during their days in the Clinton Administration and talk here about problematic trade deals, income inequality and Stiglitz’s new book, “The Great Divide: Unequal Societies and What We Can Do About Them.” Reich and Stiglitz are presented by the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley

We are headed for another recession and with Hillary at the helm the promise of another "Trickle Down Recovery"

Pay close attention to Robert Reich at 8:50 min where he discusses being threatened with Termination from the Clinton administration for publicly using the term "Corporate Welfare" during the debate of "Work from Welfare" programs.

The then Bill Clinton administration took Corporate Welfare OFF the table

1. "I'm a Progressive that likes to get things done"

Seems to suggest that progressives generally don't care about getting things done, which I find insulting

[FreakinDJ]

2. Leaving little doubt about caving into Trickle Down economic policies

for the next 4 years

In other words to her - Income Inequality is just catch phrase to fool voters with

[navarth]

11. The implication is

..that Bernie can't get things done. A familiar old chestnut around here.

[Dustlawyer]

21. And that will be Hillary's bullshit excuse as to why she won't fight for Progressive solutions

to our problems should she get elected. "We can't address income inequality or Wall Street reform because of Congress." That's what she will say when she proposes a new trade deal that will create jobs...(in Vietnam, China, India)!

[CharlotteVale]

3. Getting things done...for the 1%.

[peacebird]

8. And herself....

[Fawke Em]

35. Same thing.

[kenn3d]

4. Electing Clinton will only hasten and solidify the impending Plutocracy.

She leans way over to copy Bernie's answers on the exam...

But after graduation she'll stand straight back up with all the corporations who hire her.

5. .

[FreakinDJ]

7. Spoken like a "True Goldwater Girl"

More "About Faces" then the Loony-Toon Platoon

[ejbr]

9. She likes to get things done?

Well I'd like to see how she gets thing done with a Republican Comgress who hates her as much if not more than Obama.

[FreakinDJ]

10. They hate her MORE then Obama

It will be 4 more years of Congressional Inquiries

[freebrew]

17. Artificial hate...

only made up for the voters.

IF she gets into office, she'll do everything they want.

It will be like having Raygun back again...OH fucking BOY!

[ucrdem]

36. 8 more years.

[jwirr]

25. It depends on what things she wants to get done. Bill pretended

to be working for the little guy all the way through his 2 terms and he got things done - things for the big guy.

My greatest fear regarding the election of Hillary Clinton is that she will finish the raygun program and it will be way too late for us to ever do anything about it again.

They talked about how we pulled back from the previous crashes when the rich were about to take over. Given 4-8 more years of Hillary are we going to be past that hope when she is done with us?

[appalachiablue]

29. +1 A frightening, irreversible possibility that must be stopped, before it's too late.

[Ferd Berfel]

12. Anyone that thinks she is a progressive or even Liberal

is lying to themselves.

She is a status quo - Business as usual - Goldwater Girl

Most of us cannot survive any more Business as usual

[TIME TO PANIC]

13. Nominating Hillary will perpetuate the hijacking of our party.

We need to fight the progressive fight now, not four or eighty ears later!

[TBF]

14. She'll get all kinds of "things done" for Wall Street -

I'm 100% sure she intends to do that and will do that if elected.

[nc4bo]

15. At $12 an hr., I can survive better. At $15 an hr. I can survive better AND have a little extra

to save for a rainy day or splurge on a bright sunny one.

[Proserpina]

16. What if we don't want those things done?

What if we see that there's no way you are going to even try?

Past performance is a good predictor of future results, and you are a lady with a past, Hillary, and it's not a good one. And we don't care for the people you employ, either. Nor HOW you employ them!

[Indepatriot]

18. #wallstreetlivesmatter

[FreakinDJ]

20. ....

:ROTFLMAO:

[Skwmom]

19. Thanks for the post. I love Reich. He is smart and ethical. nt

22. Hillary "I'm a Progressive that likes to get things done"

She failed at Hillarycare. Kennedy and Hatch wrote SCHIP, developed four years prior, and got her support as First Lady.

As a Senator, she co-sponsored Lilly Ledbetter Pay Equity Act with 50+ other Senators. She spoke out in support of it but Senator Mikulski wrote it.

The Iran sanctions she claimed responsibility for were disputed by Senators as coming from their committees.

The blueprint for foreign policy during her time as Secretary of State was laid out thoroughly in the Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama.

The decision to take out bin Laden was founded on suggestions made by Clinton that Obama was naive on foreign policy during the 2008 campaign and Obama articulated exactly what he did during his debate with McCain- long before Hillary joined as Secretary of State.

Pediatric Research Equity Act was authored/sponsored by Senator “Mike” DeWine of Ohio, Hillary co-sponsored that act.

She says she likes to "get things done" but when you review her greatest accomplishments, they were largely done on the backs of others who took more of a leadership role in getting the above done.

Everyone "likes to get things done" but actually providing the leadership to get things done looks pretty light in her resume.

[Fawke Em]

37. If this isn't already an OP, it should be!

[SoapBox]

23. I have ZERO trust in her...

She has made it very clear...that she works for the 1%.

And with Wild Willie helping her...no thanks.

No...More...Clintons.

[TryLogic]

24. Who gets things done...

Using the military, of course. And protecting wall street banks and big profiteering corporations. And fulfilling her quid pro quo obligations to the foreign countries who feed the Clinton Foundation?

[Hoyt]

26. Too bad Robert didn't speak up then. He's just looking for a job, and Clinton is over him.

[JRLeft]

27. She likes to get things done for this man.

[appalachiablue]

30. Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldmann Sachs said he's "doing God's work!" in Nov. 2009.

[JRLeft]

31. She believes that too.

[appalachiablue]

33. The God of Mammon served and worshipped.

[JRLeft]

34. Calvanism at its finest.

[appalachiablue]

38. Yes indeed. Greed has rapidly infected the world, to the point of no return I fear.

>*RICHEST 62 PEOPLE HAVE THE WEALTH OF HALF THE WORLD, 3.5 BILLION PEOPLE*, Oxfam Report, Jan. 2016.

In 2010, five years ago there were 388 richest.


>*CNN, 2016 GLOBAL WEALTH INEQUALITY AND DISTRIBUTION*, Oxfam Report, Jan. 2016.

*The 62 Richest People Have the Wealth of Half the World, 3.5 Billion People*

[JRLeft]

39. Corporate democrats are helping to expand that gap.

[Thinkingabout]

28. "Corporate Welfare", like voting continued funding to Lockheed Martin on the F-35 program.

Over a trillion dollars to develop the F-35 of which the experts says it will lose in a dog fight, should be able to carry bombs and be a fighter jet, it can be a fighter jet but not carry the bombs at the same time, problem here. It is still a program which funding is provided.

40. Or FREE Tax Cuts for Oil Exploration

and the list goes on ....
