LMBO!!
Isn’t that close to the year end bonuses reportedly given out on Wall Street????? I thought I read an article that they got 60 billion.
If history has has shown us anything that the more the government tries to influence the economy, the less control they have over the economy.
But of course, Hillary knows best how to run the country...

“Bill Gates has 70,000,000,000 dollars. Take it from him.”
She would too!!
Hmmmm.... Of course, what they ignore is the fact that "the wealthy" typically don't pay that much in taxes... "The wealthy" are typically living off of investments that are carefully shielded from paying taxes. For instance, that's how Warren Buffet can say that his secretary is paying a higher rate of taxes than he is. And that's why Teddy Kennedy has so much of his family's money tied up off-shore.
It's the producers, the productive of the economy that wind up paying the taxes... But never mind that... The above statement shows that Hillary is completely ignorant where "tax dollars" come from. "Our tax dollars." Hillary using that phrase. It sends shivers down my spine. It shows that she sees the treasury as her own bank account. It shows her sense of entitlement.
To those who actually produce, and pay taxes. Be prepared: We're all going to be paying far more.

Vote for me! I will give every man, woman, and child in America, ummm, $1,000,000!
Oh, she's perfectly aware of that... To her, the only thing that matters is that the economy works FOR HER.
And she's quite good at ensuring that.

If you got in at ~$350, you've done fine. If HRC is firing up the printing presses at the Treasury to print even more money, the devaluation of the dollar will continue.
The most likely answer will be, "Take the country back from George Bush!" You know--the same moonbats who have the '1-20-09' and 'Impeach Bush' bumper stickers on their Prius hybrids.
Any candidate who doesn’t get up and state loudly that the solution to money woes is politicians getting out of the way and letting the market take care of financial problems is both a liar and a demagogue. That includes all Democrats running and one Republican.
From post #117; 70b is a fly on the windshield of this economy
.
Is $700 billion closer to a figure that would have an effect on the economy?
the economy never works for everybody
Clinton wants to promise a maximum economy, which is obvious she can’t deliver.
I guess a lot of Bank CEOs are contributing to her campaign, but she’s nuts if she truly believes another subsidy would pull the US out of a recession, especially one caused by bad mortgages.
