Enough with corporate welfare; enough with golden parachutes

"Let’s finally do something about the growing economic inequality that is tearing our country apart. The top 1% of our households hold 22% of our nation’s wealth. That is the highest concentration of wealth in a very small number of people since 1929. So let’s close that gap. Let’s start holding corporate America responsible, make them pay their fair share again. Enough with the corporate welfare. Enough with the golden parachutes. And enough with the tax incentives for companies to shift jobs overseas"-Hillary Clinton. June 2007

Close lobbyists’ revolving door; end no-bid contracts

"I believe that the foundation of a strong economy doesn’t begin with giving people who are already privileged and wealthy even more benefits. I think it comes from shared prosperity.

Let’s start by cleaning up the government, replacing this culture of corruption and cronyism with a culture of competence and caring again. Let’s stop outsourcing critical government functions to private companies that overcharge and underperform! Let’s close the revolving door between government and the lobbying shop, and let’s end the no-bid contracts for Halliburton and the other well-connected companies!

And how about the radical idea of appointing people who are actually qualified for the positions that we ask them to hold for us! Well, when I’m president, the entrance to the White House will no longer be a revolving door for the well connected, but a door of opportunity for the well qualified"-Hillary Clinton. June 2007.

But now that there's an actual bill under consideration, she should say it again, rather than count on people to remember what seh said 8 years ago when no such plan was even being debated. Not to mention that some of her positions have changed over time, and 8 years is a long time.

That she has "evolved" and not to blame her for what happened when she was first lady or in the Senate.

Can you please give us a guide to which positions we're supposed to take on faith and which ones are to be excused as honest mistakes?

Tia.

well actually not, it's more like quid pro quo

... once she's elected.

"Spontaneity has its time and its place."

It's out of consideration and respect that she's unable to answer.

huge issue for hillary - she must be bold and state truthfully (all of the truth). we are not idiots. as democrates, we deserve the respect of truthful answers. i will vote for her if she wins the primary honestly. further, her failure to develop trust amongst all voters puts the country at risk of electing an honest to gawd scary clown.

it's the 2000's, hillary - feigning innocense and kicking the can down the road is no longer acceptable. it is insulting and not an honest way to win anything but notoriety. free yourself from the act of deception.
