[Hillary:] “What we want is to get the costs [of medical care] down, the quality up, and cover everybody. And I think we can do that.”

She said the same thing when her husband was in office. The sentence is so deceptively simple, but think of the economics behind it:

1. Lower the price

2. Increase the quality

3. Increase the quantity

If she can do that, all of the economics textbooks in the world will have to be rewritten. Stated differently, she's an economic idiot.

The drive by’s will never question or evaluate the economics. They will swoon beholden to the politics of liberalism, the politics of self destruction.

I disagree. She knows it is economically impossible. But she'll lie about economics and knowingly trash the American economy in order to accrue power.

Just like the Laffer Curve. Do you think Hillary doesn’t know that lowering tax rates increases revenues? Of course she does. Anyone with half a brain knows that.

Unfortunately, a vast majority of the electorate necessary for her to win do not have half a brain. Much of the electorate is more focused on screwing the guy with money who creates jobs and wealth. They don’t know or don’t care whether the result is a worse personal situation. They just have ENVY and want the rich guy taken down.

Smart Democrats pander to that evil emotion and economically stupid thinking in order to collect votes. Hillary knows tax increases kill the economy, but she’s perfectly happy to raise taxes because it a) collects votes and b) decreases the relative power of the wealthy compared to her. It’s a win / win for Hildabeast.
