Yeah, everytime I hear the word “hardworking”, I think it is code for “illegals” (’cause Americans don’t work hard, don’t ya know). So another give away to illegals who don’t pay taxes anyway. Cheap labor is darn expensive. She has a million ideas—this one costs $70B. Can’t wait to hear about the other 999,999.

It is unclear what standards would be used to define who is “hardworking”

The non-productive. That wasn’t so hard.

The elements of the package, as described by the campaign:

— Establishing a $30 billion Emergency Housing Crisis Fund to assist states and cities in mitigating the effects of foreclosures: “Her $30 billion fund would provide immediate, time-limited resources to states, cities and community organizations to help prevent unnecessary foreclosures. States and communities could also use the funds to offset the costs associated with vacant properties by supporting efforts like community-level anti-blight programs and helping local housing authorities buy up vacant properties and rent them to working families.”

— Providing $25 billion in emergency energy assistance for families facing skyrocketing heating bills: “The grants will the purchasing power of energy assistance to where it was five years ago. And they will ensure that hardworking families and seniors on fixed incomes will not have to choose between heating their homes, putting food on the table or purchasing prescription drugs this winter.”

— Accelerating $5 billion in energy efficiency and alternative energy investments to jump-start green collar job growth: “The immediate actions that could be part of a 2008 stimulus could include a crash weatherization program to cut home energy costs by up to 20 percent this winter; expanded tax credits to encourage families and businesses to accelerate purchases of hybrids and other low-emission vehicles and to reduce energy costs by purchasing efficient appliances, new windows and other clean, efficient technologies; and acceleration of a Green Building Fund and green collar job training program to put tens of thousands of people to work making schools and other public buildings energy efficient.”

— Investing $10 billion in extending and broadening unemployment insurance for those who are struggling to find work: “By strengthening our unemployment insurance program and extending unemployment insurance for workers who are laid off for extended periods, this effort will empower more Americans to re-enter the labor market in good-paying jobs.”

All are new proposals. Clinton is billing it as a five-point plan, including this previously announced plan for mitigating the housing crisis: “Sen. Clinton has called for a 90-day moratorium on subprime foreclosures and an automatic rate freeze on subprime mortgages of at least five years or until servicers have converted the unworkable mortgages into loans families can afford.”

So, she has added to her one-million ideas with another giveway — $70Billon.

Hillary sure is free with giving away all those $$$$, for every baby, for every citizen, for lower class, for middle class, for any interest group.

Hillary is right — she has a millions ideas that we can’t afford.
