Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was forced to explain and recast what she meant when she complained of her familys financial struggles after leaving the White House.
The subject was broached on ABCs Good Morning America, when host Robin Roberts asked Mrs. Clinton if she could understand Americas head-scratching reaction to her claim that the Clintons were dead broke upon leaving the White House and needed to hit the lucative speaking circuit to build their bank accounts.
Yes I can, but everything in life has to be put into context, she said, The Hill reported. As I recall, we were something like $12 million in debt.
Mrs. Clinton then recalled how her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had been born into poverty and had to work hard for his money and career advancements, all the while paying off student loans, The Hill reported.
We understand what that struggle is because we had student debts both of us we had to pay off, we had to work, I had a couple jobs in law school, he had lots of jobs, Mrs. Clinton told ABC. We have a life experience clearly different in very dramatic ways from every American, but we also have gone through a lot of the same challenges as many people have.
On Monday night, to ABC News, she said: We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelseas education. You know, it was not easy.
Her speaking fees sometimes hit the $200,000 level, while Bill Clinton routinely pockets $500,000 per 45-minute pep talk.

The real story here is:
If the Clintons were so poor, how on earth were they allowed to go 12,000,000 dollars into debt? And how exactly did they spend that money? I’m guessing that Billy Jeff could have spent 200,000 dollars on suits, but then he is set for the 8 years...cleaning bill is another story of course...
Were they using loan sharks? Were they on a payment plan?
My guess is that they were on the wink & Nod plan.
Take care of us while in office, and we will finance your lifestyle. Bribes, payola, money laundering...what’s the word I am looking for?
Broke from self-inflicted legal expenses maybe. And then they pilfered historical treasures from the White House to furnish their new home...
"NOT SO HARRRD!"
LOL
Because it seems to me they are relying heavily on "white privilege" to get back into office. The Clintons' have benefitted from, and are climbing back into office, using privileges far beyond those of the working class voter.
"White privilege" denotes the array of advantages the Clintons have cultivated over years in public office. These two are over shadowed by the perks of "white privilege":
<><> massive wealth....
<><> multiple homes in posh enclaves....
<><> the chain of high public offices....
<><> privileged friends in high places....
<><> global connections....
<><> constant affirmations of their own worth....
<><> greater social status...
<><> the expansive freedoms wealth and connections provide...
<><> unlimited access to the press to speak freely.....
<><> Bill/Hillary memoirs made millions....
<><> book deal signed in Dec 2000 for $8 million....
<><> three Clinton tax-exempt fundations worth hundreds of millions....
<><> Clinton foundation endowment skyrockets to $200 million overnight....
<><> Hillary's $200,000 speeches to "non-profits".......
<><> Bill's tax-paid cushy pension and benefits....
<><> tax-paid Clinton Library (Sultan of Brunei a donor).....
2016 Hillary is relying on the "income equality" bugaboo to hoist herself into office. That is "white privilege" in a nutshell.
The Clintons strategy is to label others as "different" while presenting themselves as "normal"....The Clinton "normal" is hundreds of millions of dollars laying around without ever having a real job.
Now known as Lunch-Pail Hillary, she planned to run as a populist campaign, critical of the Wall Street types....that's after Hillary pocketed $200,000 from Goldman Sachs.
THANK YOU KELLY FILE Megyn ran a news clip of Hilly sing-songing "the cancer of inequality"....in a contrived sap-happy, chirpy voice, wearing a h-u-g-e phony grin.
Reminded me of the classic Willam Castle horror movie, "Mr Sardonicus," (whose face becomes frozen in a horrifying grin while robbing the coffin of his father's grave).
Hillary wears her perpetual 2016 game face.
Looks like Mrs. Bates in “Psycho”.
Now we hear he got a hundred million dollars while his wife controlled the State Dept checkbook......monies that were meant for Haiti (the place where the Clintons spent their honeymoon).
BETTER ADD THIS IN, TOO News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special management alert warned significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.
Becoming president has a pretty good monetary return. That poor boy from Hope, Ark, made over $200,000,000.00 (that we know of) as a public servant.
=============================================
Lawyers Bill and Hillary have held no other jobs but public service---they didn't have a pot to *** in in Arkansas---didn't even own a home. But they are experts at gaming the "public service" system for themselves. The Clintons conniving has enriched them. They are now worth more than $100 million dollars.....and counting.
How did they make the money? In several ways.
(1) Bill's calculated moves w/ his presidential pen and official policies profited numerous cronies and entities.....who are now being hit up for donations to the /three Clinton tax-exempt "foundations.....and to enrich Hillary.
(2) Bill's pardon pen was useful in pardoning diverse voting blocs which got Hillary elected to the US Senate as a prelude to her presidential ambitions.
(3) The Clintons game the system 24/7....their only goal in politics is to control the money.
The Bank of Reptilia apparently takes a very helpful attitude towards certified members of the New World Order.
Now I’m also an alien, but just from this planet, so I guess I’m outa luck. :)
Oh Boy, our first historic female letch president.
Interesting picture...looks like Hillary is getting excited.
