Hillary Clinton rallied women voters in New England on Friday, heaping praise upon progressive champion Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and her economic populist message. But in so doing, the former secretary of state may have handed her opponents a line of attack should she decide to run for president in 2016.

Stumping on behalf of Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley (D), Clinton denounced “trickle-down economics” as espoused by Republicans and argued that businesses also depend on government investment for resources like roads and bridges.  She should have said the “people’s investment not government investment.  The money does not belong to the government.”

Clinton has to understand the country doesn’t depend on government investment – it is the taxpayers’ money that build roads and bridges not the government’s.  Her husband, Bill Clinton, in a speech today said, that Senator’s were the people  in the government who made the jobs for the American people.  If that is true, where are they?  Why they are in Mexico – is that where the Senators send them?   Surely he doesn’t think the people believe that remark.

“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried; that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly,” she said in Boston.  This is a false statement.

That is the problem today – the government has raised taxes so high – they have run all of the high paying jobs out of the country.  The Democrats have turned off the job faucet which is contrived.

The remark was immediately singled out by Republicans, who noted its similarity to comments made by President Barack Obama during his re-election campaign.

Clinton’s remark was enough to “make you go hmmmm,” tweeted Sean Spicer, communications director at the Republican National Committee.

“Who exactly is creating the jobs then, Sec. Clinton?” asked America Rising, a Republican opposition research firm.

Republicans made similar hay out of the president’s “You didn’t build that” comment in July 2012, eventually turning the line into a theme at the GOP’s nominating convention. Like Clinton, Obama was laying out the progressive case that businesses owe some of their success to the efforts of government (how can this be – the government people are public employees).

The Democratic Party  and the leader own this current market with no-jobs.  A Clinton aide told Politico on Friday that her remark referred to tax breaks for corporations. But that likely won’t be enough to dissuade Republicans from featuring it in ads come 2016.

Hillary Clinton reveals her stunning ignorance of economics.  With all of the wasteful spending the government is doing and  debt continues to rise with 52 percent of the people on government assistance, it looks like Hillary believes in Keynesian economics which is the view that in the short run, especially recessions, economic output is strongly influenced by aggregate demand (total spending in the economy). This is one of the reasons the Treasury keeps printing money to keep the economy propped up.  It makes my head spin just listening to all of these twisted untruths.
