CLINTON'S PROPOSALS

Hillary Clinton's plans on five business-related issues:

1) JOBS
Would make it more difficult for companies to move jobs and capital overseas by eliminating provision of the corporate tax code that allows companies to defer paying taxes on income from foreign subsidiaries. Provides $7 billion a year in tax benefits to encourage firms to create jobs in the USA.

2) INFRASTRUCTURE
Says "Rebuild America" plan would create 3 million jobs with a $10 billion emergency fund for repair of decaying infrastructure and modernization of public transportation systems and inter-city rail and national broadband system.

3) MORTGAGE CRISIS
Calls for 90-day moratorium on foreclosures and a five-year freeze on rate increases for subprime adjustable-rate-mortgages. Wants to ban prepayment penalties and require registration of mortgage brokers.

4) TAXES
Would let the Bush tax cuts expire for families with incomes above $250,000, expand the earned income tax credit, exempt the first $7 million of a couple's estate from taxes and enact a matching tax credit for retirement savings.

5) TRADE
Supported the North American Free Trade Agreement, but she said trade agreements need more labor and environmental standards. Voted against Central America Free Trade Agreement. Seeks a freeze on new trade agreements. Wants to impose sanctions on China or others that manipulate their currencies.



Sounds pretty good, but instead we got "change" which translates to a health care reform that is going to cripple America in the long run. Causing more unemployment than curing peoples ills.

I was on the Obama bandwagon a few months ago, but Damn! He is turning out to be a big, big disappointment. Why are troops still fighting a pointless war? What about America's education, and Green energy?

Hillary was clearly the best choice for president, and I'm saddened she won't be running in 2012.

Bah, Republicans would be even less friendly about working with her to actually fix anything... Not that she would.

Plus, I couldn't take the constant jokes about Slick Willie and Little Willie.

No one for President 2012!

I don't see how this proves she would have been effective at any of these goals. Maybe, maybe not, but she's a politician. Of course she's gonna have a good pitch - doesn't mean the outcome would have been significantly different.
