NY Times Opinion: Hillary will tell them to "Cut it out!"

[Human101948]

Clinton’s Bold Vision, Hidden in Plain
Sight?

... Moreover, unlike Mr. Sanders, she sees this role as
primarily focused on correcting the shortcomings of weakly regulated markets
rather than redistributing income and wealth. In a phrase, Mrs. Clinton
believes in a “mixed economy” in which government serves as an essential
supplement to and regulator of markets, using its strong “thumb” (as the
political economist Charles Lindblom once described it) to assist and
counterbalance the nimble “fingers” of the market.

Emphasis added

The authors are plugging their book which theorizes that it was Republicans and Democrats working together that created prosperity for the masses. It seems to me that history shows that Republicans had to be dragged kicking and screaming into income equality then (mid 1900s) and then fought their way back to tilt the playing field once again in favor of the one percent with help from the half-assed Democrats.

2. That's not a bold new vision - it's the same old thing they've been selling us for years.

We aren't fooled any more - the cronyism, the secret meetings, the winks, it's all common knowledge now. Hillary should just hope that the public loathes her just a little bit less than Donald Trump.

3. What crap. Anyway Sanders supports a mixed economy too

He doesn't support crony capitalism and he thinks that the government can be useful for more than imperialism.

4. It has nothing to do with a "thumb on the market".

It's about new ideas.

Some new ideas, like single player guaranteed universal health care for every citizen of a land, exclude what had been an area of plunder for investment capital. That's all the fight is about, really. Getting it through the thick skulls of people that Hillary Clinton is dead wrong, here, just as she's been wrong on Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Honduras -- inflicting her damage on the rest of the world.

She is not a smart person. She believes in 18th century ideas, like that her "Clinton Foundation" is charitable, and therefore being already charitable it trumps having to fight for single payer universal health care, or any progressive objective.
