Seems like even her nominally a Hillary ally find some issues with her economic ideas and actions.

    Government doesn't create jobs regardless of the lies told by politicians. Jobs are created from the free and independent decisions of producers and voluntary purchases of consumers (who are advised/coerced by producers and others.). While government does consume and coerce, it does not produce anything that consumers voluntarily purchase.
    Neither Trump nor Shillery will create jobs as president.
    The one positive thing that government could do is to Get Out Of The Way.

    Perhaps what we are witnessing is an awakening by even the most perverse...if they can awaken, start listening to the voice of conscience then the rest of the population should not be far behind.

    Those of us awake, can only hope at this point.

    Clinton referred to everything in her speech that destroys jobs, while Trump referred to everything that creates jobs. Anyone who has at least 10% of their brain cells functioning should be able to tell the difference and what it means.

    In response to the backlash over her promise to "put a lot of coal miners out of work," Clinton proposed welfare for the dispossessed miners as a solution. She wants to have another "stimulus" bigger than the one Obama executed. Just like Obama, she's promising the stimulus money will be used to pay for "infrastructure." Of course the naive think that means roads, rails, bridges, and waterways. In reality, like Obama, Clinton thinks of government employees as the real infrastructure of a powerful authoritarian government, and is likely to repeat the Obama formula with a bigger expansion of our already bloated government.

    All of her measures to supposedly help the middle class will only crush it. Income taxes will go up, and prices, driven by higher minimum wage, higher corporate taxes, and more restrictive regulations, will rise significantly, while jobs will disappear for all but low skill and government employment.

    Hillary just does not believe in letting industry create jobs without government involvement and control. Better yet, if she can find a way to turn it in to money fro herself, all the better, then who cares if her ideas fail, she make a profit on it. She is an impediment to capitalism, a Marxist, not one who knows about job creation.

    So...all things considered, and KNOWING one of the 4 people running for office, (HIllary, Jill, Johnson or Trump) WILL be President.

    You still not voting Trump or staying home?

    "Seems like even her nominally a Hillary ally find some issues with her economic ideas and actions." This isn't even a sentence, but aside from that, I still can't make sense of it. Could somebody please translate?

    One thing I like about Hillary is that I feel like I can read her like a book. I stand to do well when she's president because of this. It will take a tactical approach, so (outside of elite donors) most will be caught flat-footed under her administration. Overall, things will get horrible.

    It's almost taking a time machine back in time to be an investor just as Hitler takes power. Pretty dark...

      So, if she is elected the logical course of action is to buy stock in all the large corporate donors. I saw Warren Buffett sitting behind her...Berkshire Hathaway?
