The Hildebeest Reveals Her Stunning Ignorance of Economics
2014-10-25
[PowerLine] In this one-minute clip, trying to shore up the floundering Coakley campaign in Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton displays her ignorance of how the world works not once, but twice. First she assures her audience that raising the minimum wage doesn’t cost jobs, it leads to job gains. (“Our entry-level employees will now cost $15 an hour? Great! Let’s hire two!”) Of course, no one ever asks: if that’s true, Hillary, then why are you so cheap? Why not raise the minimum wage to $100 an hour?

You have to watch the clip for her second gaffe:

“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.” Where do they come from, then? Does the stork deliver them? Are they legislated by Congress? Two equally plausible alternatives.

I thought she flunked flank.

#12  Yes Pappy, 'flanking action' to continue until the "I'm stepping out of the race for my brain is cold porridge med reasons" and the entire platform [along with most of the funding] defaults to Fauxcahontas.

#10  I suppose we can be reasonable certain her weight loss has nothing to do with either Bill or the FLOTUS veggie eating campaign.

#3  Ref #2: Land ownership is a popular myth, has been for years. Stop paying taxes on that land or let it become the subject of an 'Eminent Domain' action and see how long you own it.

#2  IIRC, in the UK the Brit Govt can basically frack andor drill for fossil fuels, etc. on allegedly
"private" land widout the permission of "private landowners" because the latter seemingly do not actually or legally own their land - the Govt. does, as part of the price ordinary Brits pay for benefitting from the massive Brit Socialist Welfare-Nanny State.
