Moody's: Clinton economy would create 10 million jobs
CNN ^ | July 29, 2016 | Charles Riley

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.

9.9 million of the jobs will be for illegals who don’t/ won’t pay taxes and send the money back to some other nation.

Moody is for Clinton.

Moody’s sounds like Standard & Poors in the movie the Big Short.

“If we don’t give them the rating they want they go to Moody’s”

“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.”

But how many jobs will be lost in the process. Losing 20 million jobs and creating 10.4 million, is a loss of 9.6 million jobs. This is going to be just like Obamacare. 10 million people lost their health insurance and out of them, 7 million went on Obamacare.

Voila!

And 9,999,789 of those jobs will be trying to locate documents tied to Hillary and Bill Clinton as a result of discovery.

I think Moody's must be looking at taxes as investment. You know the old rule - $1 billion in investment creates 10,000 to 12,000 jobs.

So perhaps $1 billion in taxes eliminates 10,000 jobs in the private sector. Fuzzy math time - likely her $1 trillion in new taxes will reduce private sector full-time jobs by 10,000,000. But would be replaced by 5 million public sector and 5 million part-time jobs, with the rest going to raises to current public sector employees. Taxes cannot increase total employment - they can only reduce it.

Let me guess: He also concludes that a Trump economy would cause “eleventy-jillion” jobs to be lost?

3.5 million. Moody's: Trump's plans would cost 3.5 million jobs

Moody’s credibility was settled when they were giving AAA ratings to those mortgage backed securities that collapsed the economy.

Is this one of the initiatives by the leftists to make Hillary look good?

Or is it a pretentiously showy or imposing façade intended to mask or divert attention from an embarrassing or shabby fact or conditions, such as Hillary's reputation for being corrupt and untrustworthy?

How does raising taxes, increasing the number of immigrants, and further eroding of the middle class make Hillary look good via Moody's Analytics?

Who runs that pack of scamsters? Chelsea Clinton?

The numbers quoted are meaningless without also quoting the resulting increase in the National Debt, and in the amount of deficit spending. NOT a single budget in the last eight years failed to increase the interest on the existing debt, but actually increased the amount of the debt! Tax increases or not.

That Money Fairy needs to be replaced.

Who are these people who put out such blatant lies?

You can't say lies. More like "fantasies."

Lies can be proven wrong. Fantasies, not so much.

Obamacare would lower the deficit by more than $100 billion.

it really is true that you can't make this stuff up... Unless you're Moody's.

Just like Obama, right? Not in this lifetime.

Perhaps, they’re referring to Syrian refugees and like illegals, ya think?
