Clinton Campaign Issues Economic Plan for America
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign released a 13-page blueprint for fixing the economy Monday, detailing Mrs. Clinton's plans to achieve universal health care, address the home foreclosure crisis and develop jobs for the middle class."Over the past seven years, big corporations and special interests have been given a free pass to profit, often at the expense of the American worker", says Mrs. Clinton. As President, Mrs. Clinton says she will make it a priority to scale back special benefits and subsidies to these corporations and put those resources to work for our economy again."
It also describes Clinton's plan for creating new jobs through investments in infrastructure projects like roads, bridges and levees and "green-collar" jobs that would help reduce dependence on foreign oil. The New York senator also details her ideas for improving trade agreements, making college more affordable and expanding family and medical leave programs. Mrs. Clinton's plan to rein in the special interests will take back at least $55 billion per year from drug companies, oil companies and firms that ship jobs overseas and invest those resources to improve the lives of working families.
