Moody's: Clinton economy would create 10 million jobs

Hillary Clinton's plans for the economy would boost growth and create millions of jobs, according to a new analysis.

Moody's Analytics estimates that if the Democratic presidential nominee's proposals are enacted, the economy would create 10.4 million jobs during her presidency, or 3.2 million more than expected under current law.

The pace of GDP growth would also accelerate to an annual average of 2.7%, from the current forecast of 2.3%.

"The upshot of our analysis is that Secretary Clinton's economic policies when taken together will result in a stronger U.S. economy under almost any scenario," Moody's writes in its report.

Moody's Analytics is an independent research group, but the lead author of the report on Clinton is Mark Zandi, who donated $2,700 to her campaign last year, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.

...the economy would create 10.4 million jobs during her presidency, or 3.2 million more than expected under current law.

I did not know there were laws governing the amount of jobs that can be created

Hillary Clinton's plans for the economy would boost growth and create millions of jobs

yea, raising taxes will create millions of new jobs, Only in some libtard's wishful thinking

[right way right]

Before Obama I had one job for 24 years.
After his election I have had 6.
Is that how they count jobs?

” the lead author of the report on Clinton is Mark Zandi, who donated $2,700 to her campaign last year, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.”

Ah, yes. Bury the lead.

Remember how many “shovel ready”jobs Barack was going to create with the $900 billion dollar slush fund he was given?

Well - we are still waiting for those jobs to materialize.

[Popman]

Tomorrow I will grow wings and fly...

On about the same level of reality...

[Grams A]

More shovel ready jobs?

[Jean2]

More like in what universe.

Moody's has been a leftwing outfit for quite a while now. They injected themselves in the budget shutdown debate four years ago, lest we forget:

Major credit rating agency Moody's warned today that it may downgrade the U.S. credit rating if the government fails to figure out a way to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff at the end of the year.

Moody's participated in the liberal fiction of a "default" knowing quite well that no such thing would happen.

Moody's Analytics estimates that if the Democratic presidential nominee's proposals are enacted, the economy would create 10.4 million jobs during her presidency, or 3.2 million more than expected under current law.

Are they lying, or are they insane?

[lodi90]

The economy is flat lining. THe only thing keeping it propped up is consumer spending and much of that no doubt is monetary policy related.

[FredZarguna]

That's correct. I also cited another of Moody's reliable liberal positions further down this thread.

Moody's is not trustworthy.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Right - more part time jobs taking orders at Burger King - what more could a kid want.....

[1Old Pro]

Moody’s failed to properly rate the housing bonds that caused major wall street firm failures - so I wouldn’t count on their analysis.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

A $300 billion income tax increase
A $275 billion business tax increase
A $400 billion “fairness” tax
A massive and complex capital gains tax increase
A tax on stock trading
A massive increase in the death tax
A new “exit” tax
A pledge to continue shutting down the coal industry
No plan to decrease business regulations that have exploded under Obama
No plan to reduce Obamacare costs
Committing to open borders and letting the new “migrants” get the full set of government benefits.

This is going to create millions of new jobs?

[RetiredTexasVet]

Yep, the geniuses over at Moody’s .... the same ones that gave triple A ratings to mortgage bonds before the housing crisis!

[SoFloFreeper]

These are the same people who have triple A ratings to the financial instruments that FAILED, right?

[kabar]

And immigrants will take all the new jobs.
