We didn't talk about that. But, I think her change of heart was the realization (as I had argued two years ago) that NO amount of tax breaks to the wealthy (including herself ... though she does not consider herself wealthy) and NO amount of regulation reduction would put the money in her customers' hands; the money they could then spend with her. I think my "what regulation could be repealed that would cause her to hire another employee, if she did not have the work to keep that employee busy ... How much of a tax cut would cause her to hire another employee, if she did not have the work to keep that employee busy ... How much of an increase in orders would she need to see in order to cause her to hire another person" argument finally got through.
