You know, folks, when campaigns flounder, expect one thing from policy wonks:more wonkery. We\u2019ve got it; the “inevitable” Hillary Clinton has issued a 13-page economic manifesto,which is really a blueprint for destroying prosperity.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s going to deliver budget-busting socialized medicine. She will freeze home foreclosures — that will kill any chance of housing market rebounding. And she\u2019ll create “new infrastructure” projects, like building new roads and bridges. [It\u2019s the] FDR model: taxpayer-funded Big Government “make-work” jobs.<\/p>\n

Her enemies would pay dearly. Mrs. Clinton would “take back” $55 billion from industries thatshe doesn\u2019t like– Big Oil, Big Pharma –and companies that “outsource.” That\u2019s the Hugo-Chavez-commie-thug-dictator model.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also economic drivel. An incident on the campaign trail proves my point. A little girl told Mrs. Clinton that she and her mom– a hairdresser– were going to lose their homebecause their mortgage payments had jumped by $400 a month. So Mrs. Clinton brought them up onstage, put her arm around them, and blamed unscrupulous mortgages brokers for their problems. And… that was that.<\/p>\n

Hillary and Bill Clintonhave spent years reminding us they\u2019re so rich they don\u2019t “need” tax cuts. A lousy five grand would have fixed this little girl\u2019s problem for a year! Did Hillary pull out her checkbook and offer to help? No way! Mrs. Clinton put her arm around her, had a photo-op, then kicked her to the curb to wait for the government, and hope for change.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a wonk, folks–not<\/emphasize> a leader. But, you knew that.<\/p>\n
