4183952, Clinton slams Bush on economic policies
Posted by William769 on Thu Jan-24-08 12:43 PM

On a day of global financial whiplash, Sen. Hillary Clinton told a rally in Salinas that the country "is beginning to slide into recession" and then recalled the economic boom of the 1990s when her husband was president.

"We're going to do it again," she vowed.

Clinton blamed the economic malaise on Bush administration policies to keep borrowing from the Chinese and other governments to pay the nation's bills, declaring the country needs "to get back our fiscal sovereignty."

"Here today, gone tomorrow. There is no guarantee they are going to keep buying our debt," she said. She also decried the home-loan mortgage crisis and resulting declining home values as foreclosures mount: "Ninety-five thousand homes in foreclosure in California," she said, shaking her head. "We are in a crisis, people."

"NO chance whatsoever to see that headline from an Obama campaign appearance. NONE. EVER. That, in a nutshell, is the biggest difference between Obama and Clinton."
