This is one of those WOW just WOW moments. Could this leftist really be our next pres?

"Appearing at a Boston rally for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley on Friday, Hillary Clinton told the crowd gathered at the Park Plaza Hotel not to listen to anybody who says that “businesses create jobs.”

“Don’t let anybody tell you it’s corporations and businesses create jobs,” Clinton said.

Another thread on this, and as pointed out in that thread, it is a quote taken out of context. She is referring to "trickle down economics", or as it is referred to now since trickle down failed, "supply side economics"

It's an extremely edited job, but she was referring to the ****-sucking given to corporations by, um, certain individuals in our political arena. Yes, businesses bring jobs, but she was criticizing the "trickle down" aspect of it.

I usually search to see if there is a thread on a subject I want to bring here but this caught me so off guard I lost my cool. I just can't believe this s***.

What, people taking quotes out of context? I agree, it needs to stop.

And if you actually consider that past a talking point, she's absolutely right. Demand by consumers (whether they be other businesses or individuals or MIC) create the need for more product or service and then the business fills that need with more employees. DEMAND by CONSUMERS creates jobs, and not a damned thing else.
 
She meant to say that charging people hundreds of thousands of dollars to speak creates jobs

If you have no job and no money you demand nothing. If you have a job created by business you have money and you demand goods and services your attempt to put the cart ahead of the horse is nuts

And without demand you have no job... beginning and end of cycle is in demand, to imagine otherwise is beyond daft.

To put the same DEMAND CREATES JOBS, aspect another way. The business wouldn't exist in the first place if a demand wasn't seen, created, or otherwise on the table that needed to be supplied.

Demand without income? Where do they get the money then ,welfare? People with jobs pay for that too

Yes it does become a cycle, clearly. But that cycle starts with demand and is kept afloat by demand. I assure you, there's not a successful business man around that keeps more employees than DEMAND demands.

That's not a very strong argument, if you're trying to refute the idea that private sector companies create jobs.
 
i looked around the net for her speech, convinced that this was an excerpt taken out of context

having read a variety of sources there are only two possible explanations

1. either hillary has no grasp of basic, BASIC economics

or

2. she is inarticulate about her positions

neither is a good thing for the prospective presidential candidate

Wasn't she on the wal mart, monsanto, and tyson foods board of directors? :lol:

As the democrat party moves further left her, and other socialists will continue to do this type of thing.

She's an empty pant suit, only there because of who she married. A real model for women, eh?

She's a Liberal. It's not hard understand where she's coming from and nothing in comments is surprizing.

You answered yourself in your second sentence. Outside of those things necessary to sustain life, business does indeed create demand by recognizing wants and attempting to satisfy them.

I think you misunderstand the concept of demand. Yes, a private sector company creates jobs, but only when a demand for their product exists. If no one wants what they have to offer, they do not need workers to produce the product. Ergo, the non producing workers won't have a job and nothing to trickle back into the economy.

Private sector companies recognize, meet and sometimes create demand. Period. Spin it however you want, but it's the private sector that creates jobs.
 
At least Hillary said something. McConnell says nothing, and the right will probably still re-elect him, "I'm not announcing what the agenda would be in advance. "
Sen. McConnell touts 2005 push for private Social Security accounts, doesn't say if he'll do same as Senate Majority Leader - Insider Louisville

let's face it
hillary saying stupid things is not a good thing
no matter how you want to paint it
no matter how you want to compare it to the stupidity some republicans uttered
hillary was stupid in her remarks

So tell me the context that shows she didn't mean what that says.
