Poor Hillary Clinton. She's trying so fervently to come up with at least one new and inspiring idea to jump-start a moribund economy and help the financially stressed middle class. But the left's idea cupboard is empty. They have nothing to offer except: tax; spend; spin; hit the button again.
So in her speech on Thursday on the economy, she proposed last week's leftover cold porridge. And it doesn't taste any better today than when President Obama first served it up.
Clinton touted her proposed jobs program, which she has said she will launch "in (her) first 100 days (in office)." Sure. But her former boss Barack Obama has had not 100 but close to 3,000 days to come up with a jobs program. Where are the jobs? Where are the pay raises? Where is the growth?
Clinton is in the awkward position of having to praise the Obama recovery, which has flatlined paychecks; left 94 million Americans outside the labor force; created the biggest deficits and national debt in world history; and has almost half of Americans thinking we are still in a recession or headed into a new one. More than half of Americans think the American dream is no longer attainable. Yet Clinton, with a straight face, complains that Obama doesn't "get the credit he deserves" for the condition of the U.S. economy.
