Hillary Clinton and Big Government
Larry Kudlow is NOT impressed with Hillary's economic prowess...
Here's some of what Larry Kudlow has to say:
"Hasn’t Mrs. Clinton noticed the worldwide spread of free-market capitalism that has become such an enormous wealth creator across the globe — including Eastern Europe, India, China, and the rest of Asia? The economic growth principles of higher after-tax returns for work and investment, deregulation to limit government’s reach, and the privatization of government-run companies have become almost commonplace following the Reagan-Thatcher revolution of twenty-five years ago. But Mrs. Clinton would have us turn the clock back in ways that even her husband didn’t support. She defines her goals in terms of “a middle class life, education, health care, transportation, and retirement.” But all this is nothing more than a massive dose of government spending and regulating — a sure prescription for humongous taxes and a declining economy."
"No wonder the Chicago ballroom started to snooze. Clinton’s ideas electrified the audience about as much as a broken plug attached to an old land-line phone."
