Hilary's Blunder On Jobs

This is the tamest "blunder" I've ever seen made fun of. Anyone with any kind of political savvy knows her economic positions, and knows what she meant by that comment.

You can disagree with her position - that's fine - but to stoop to mockery over something that's easily discernible with even the smallest amount of context is...curious.

Quiet you!

If this is Hilary doing bad she's still by far the most able politician in the US scene.

Trickle-down economics is idiotic and doesn't work.

For my own part, I'm philosophically libertarian on economic policy, but there's a growing body of evidence to suggest that more socialist tendencies in economic policy eventually lead to a stronger economy, better education, and more overall happiness. It's a hard pill to swallow when I value personal freedom (and by that I mean "economic freedom", which leads to personal freedom) higher than some of the ideals and goals of more socialist policies. So it's been a weird dichotomy of information and opinion for me.

As it pertains to the Hillary snippet, trickle-down isn't libertarian, which works to avoid centralized power and monopolies, whether governmental or corporate. So I have no problem jumping on board with these statements, even if her overarching economic policies make me squirm occasionally.

Ha, no joke. It's a shame, but you have a point.

Keeeey RIST, that image is he most appropriate and hilarious response. I lost my shit at work to the chagrin of my coworkers.

Yes, that perfectly describes my position and perspective, as well...but you did it much more eloquently. 🙂

Thanks. It's all the more reason I vote almost exclusively on social, educational, foreign policy, and environmental issues anymore, though. I'm torn on economics for reasons stated, and I also believe governments don't have NEARLY the influence over economic prosperity as many think they do. And when they do, those at the top often lack the leverage to create lasting change. So while it doesn't quite make me a one-issue voter, for example, I'm far more likely to vote for a gay marriage advocate than a fiscal libertarian, all other issues being equal. The desired outcome is much more likely to happen, imo.

The same is true of educational issues, to a lesser extent. I can see the change in gay rights. It's happening in front of our eyes. But, regardless of administration, has education noticeably improved under any new law or practice? I'm much more likely to vote when I think a tangible, positive outcome is within the realm of possibility. With most things governmental, the list of logistical and political BS makes more complex forms of progress less likely.

I think Germany is a pretty good model of how you can have a robust economy and a welfare state. You just have to work as hard as Germans work. 😐

It's very difficult striking a balance between having an open economy that makes it easy and attractive for people to start up new enterprises and having the kind of safety net and regulations that make for an ethically upright society.

I'm actually entirely unfamiliar with Germany's economy. But I'll be sure to look into it at some point.

I just hate that what I want for myself (near-total economic freedom with small government and very little welfare) isn't what empirical research tells us is the best model for society as a whole.

Maybe you should be a politician, Digi for president!

I'll vote for you over Hilary.

I don't think she's potentially a lousy president in the making. She'll have everything going against her as people in power will want to make sure the first female president flops so badly there won't be another for the next 10 elections.

So you will not be voting for her?
