Press release from Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton:
Hillary Clinton released the following statement today following several stories in the Connecticut press this week concerning the growing economic problems facing the state:
“Recent stories of the growing economic problems facing Connecticut are deeply troubling to me. From rising fuel prices and energy costs, to concerns about increasing property taxes and college tuition rates, working families across Connecticut are being left behind and ignored by this Administration. Our country is sliding into recession, and the people of Connecticut are looking for a hands-on leader to manage our economy and hold government accountable for delivering results.
“I’ve proposed a $ 110 billion economic package to provide tax rebates to middle class families, assist families with skyrocketing energy costs, invest in clean energy technology and support workers who have lost their jobs. I’ve also outlined a comprehensive plan to address the housing crisis, calling for a 90-day moratorium on home foreclosures and a 5-year freeze on adjustable rate subprime mortgages to help hundreds of thousands of Americans stay in their homes.
“Working families who are being left behind in this economy, here in Connecticut and across the country, will no longer be invisible when I am President.”
Hillary continues her focus on the economy today with campaign events outlining her stimulus plan to jumpstart the economy, including investing in clean and alternative energy that could create 5 million new “green collar” jobs.

Just curious ..... Does she really think we have forgotten when she last resided in the white house ?? In the first months of the first two years when democrats had control of BOTH houses of congress and the white house her hubby signed N.A.F.T.A. resulting in our economic base ( manufacturing ) being shipped worldwide . Sure ... prosperity reigned supreme while packing up our factories and shipping them elsewhere , but after they were gone we were left w/ a shattered economy .
However , I still say we should vote for her in the primary election so that America will elect a Republican and send the democrats the message that we don't forget .
Mrs. Clinton is a United States Senator. She and the other 99 members of this most distinguished body write and pass the laws of this country.
Her words (press release) are shallow, hollow and have no merit. I will go out on a limb and state that if I were a resident of Montana, today, the same press release was sent out as it was to North Carolina, Georgia, Washington (you get the picture).
I am so tired of talk, stump speeches and mindless rhetoric. Just do something, anything, even if it's wrong.
Some of our leaders are pathetic, and we keep sending them back to DC to represent us. Remember the old adage, "We get what we deserve."
