As proof that Trump’s policies are bad for the dynamic sectors of the economy that prospered under Obama, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton cited her drastically reduced speaking fees. In a speech at Rutgers University in New Jersey this week her honorarium was only $25,000–$7,000 less than reality TV star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi from the show Jersey Shore received from Rutgers for a 2011 appearance and $175,000 less than Clinton’s typical asking price before the 2016 election.
“The few thousand dollars in crumbs being awarded to middle class workers as a result of the tax cut legislation are dwarfed by the severe hardships inflicted on those of us who have to rely on speaking fees just to keep putting food on the table,” Clinton complained. “My ‘wage’ has been cut by nearly 90%. An economy that treats its best and brightest so shabbily is a discredit to the nation.”
The pay cut coming after what Clinton described as “my traumatic loss to the least qualified person to ever win a presidential race adds injury to insult. I’m hoping that voters will remember what I’ve had to suffer through and punish the Republicans at the ballot box. If we all work hard we can turn back from the unbridled selfish individualism that the GOP wants to force down our throats and renew the commitment to the progressive values of collectivism that President Obama tried to establish during his all-too-brief reign.”

He’s hurting your economy Hillary. You don’t have the political power to make millions of dollars anymore. Sucks that you can’t sell access anymore doesn’t it? Handle it.
The real question is, why would Rutgers throw away $25,000 for a screech from a decomposing grifter, who can’t walk and...walk at the same time? $25K for an hour (3 minutes to be realistic) of HRC moving up and especially down a high, steep, uneven staircase with no handrails — now that might be a prudent use of funds.
Is the price of peanuts and beer down?
Hillary’s speaking fees are shrinking because people are tired of listing to utter garbage, no other reason.
Just my curiosity but exactly what is "semi-satire"?
