Hillary says, "I have a million ideas, the country can't afford them all!"

Ms. Clinton, If they were good ideas, we could afford them.

Just heard Hillary discussing her Healthcare Plan on CNBC.

That one plan is enough to break the country all by itself, let alone her other 999,999 socialist ideas.

She stated that she would change the insurance companies business modlel by legislation, so that, in effect, they could not underwrite risks. In other words - one plan fits all, regardless of pre-existing conditions or ability to pay.

Pure socialism!

The real question is: with an annual federal budget [this does not include state and local muni spending, mind you] of 2.6 trillion dollars [$2,600,000,000,000 or enough to purchase ten million median priced homes in the United States every single year], what in the hell is it that we’re not affording right now?

“”I have a million ideas, the country can’t afford them all!””

Sometimes people say things they don’t understand the full meaning of.

This country can’t afford Hillary, her Communism or her ideas - not even one of them

[TChris]

I have a million ideas, the country can't afford them at all!

There, corrected her statement.

[swatbuznik]

I just want to run screaming for the hills when this woman speaks-—in more ways than one.

"I have a million ideas, the country can't afford them all!"

...but she's going to raise taxes and confiscate our property, all for the common good, irrespective!

[MIchaelTArchangel]

She can't even tell the truth about her own thoughts. There is no way a person can have a million ideas about a subject--which in this case is spending other people's money. She may have a hundred ideas. And the kicker is that she misspoke when she said we can't afford all of them. The correct statement should have been, "I have 100 new ideas about spending your money, and you can't afford a single one of them!

Donated by a million bright Chinese waiting for their payback.

Which they WILL extract.

Neither does the other

[Brilliant]

If these ideas produce benefits, then we can’t afford NOT to do them, Hillary. And if we can’t afford them, then doesn’t that mean they aren’t good ideas?

[LachlanMinnesota]

I have one idea, and it is free except for the gas money to go to the polls.

[crazyshrink]

Here is one of Hillary's ideas, no bull!! We be the bull and cowboy.

Asked if that suggested she, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was not sufficiently vigilant on the contractors issue, she said she has been raising questions about contractors for several years and opposed the government’s use of them.

On domestic priorities, Clinton pitched her proposals on Medicare reform and scientific research and said she would unveil a plan today to make college more affordable.

Clinton recently floated the idea of issuing a $5,000 bond to each baby born in the United States to help pay for college and a first home, but it immediately inspired Republican ridicule and she quickly said she would not implement the proposal.

She defended that decision yesterday, saying she is focusing on proposals with more political support and she is not formally proposing anything she can’t fund without increasing the deficit: “I have a million ideas. The country can’t afford them all.”

This is one scary woman ... if woman she be.

"I have a million ideas. The country can't afford them all."

Unintentionally revealing - Hillary, like all of the Demagogues, tries to force socialism upon us step by step. They all know that their agenda would be rejected in a heartbeat if they laid it all out there honestly, so instead they lie and dissemble and try to create a political groundswell for one "idea" at a time, always involving more government taxation and control. Yes, Republicans have often been pandering to voters as well, but the Demagogues have by far the most comprehensive all-socialist agenda. They just don't admit it and blather about 'labels' etc.

[vpintheak]

How about an idea of cutting out some government? That would be too much to ask huh?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***She needs to quit beating around the bush and just give people $1000 for voting for her.***

Nothing new. George McGovern floated that idea way back in 1972.

[SampleMan]

That’s only $9,000 for every man woman and child. We need to give more.

How about Hamlet's advice, "Get thee to a nunnery"?

Preferably a Buddhist one in Tibet. Or working for Mother Teresa's nuns in Calcutta. Since she's never going to end up where she should be, federal prison.
