Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday called on La Crosse County voters to support her plan to rebuild the middle class through education, promoting a green energy economy and expanding access to health care...............

“We have to restore the potential of America’s dream for everybody,” she said. “I don’t want Americans giving up on themselves.”


................


The former secretary of state panned her Democratic rival Sen. Bernie Sander’s free tuition plan, which she said relies on cooperation from governors like Wisconsin’s Scott Walker.

“That seems like a big leap of faith to me,” Clinton said.

Clinton promised to create jobs rebuilding the country’s roads, bridges and water systems while also promoting renewable energy.

................

She vowed to expand Obamacare, and to protect access to abortion, marriage equality and voters’ rights, drawing cheers from the crowd with each................

Hillary is right about Sanders college plan--which relies on individual states. The problem--NO Red state --like WI Governor will ever implement his college plan--

It will be like the ACA--Walker has NOT expanded Medicare. The people in these states--WILL BE LEFT BEHIND with Sanders college plan--just like the people in these states are left behind in health care.



Hautala was an attendee in the audience:
>>>>>>>>>Hautala said she admires Clinton’s tenacity as well as her compassion and pragmatism.

“We can’t afford what Bernie’s proposing,” she said of Sanders.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Clinton spoke ....in an unfinished wing on the fourth floor of Western Technical College’s new Integrated Technologies Center, where she outlined her plan to provide debt-free college education for middle- and working-class families, which she said she would pay for by taxing “wealthy people, while also working to reduce existing college debt.

1. That's great.

This is the sort of thing I had hoped she'd say as she turns toward the General Election and campaigns for Sanders.

Yay, Hill!

2. "fairer" sounds like an increment of fair.

Can't we just go from unfair to fair? Do we have to settle for "fairer"?


“We can’t afford what Bernie’s proposing,”

Really? We can't afford a fair economy?

[hereforthevoting]

3. What I'm getting from this is

She actually has veered a little ickle to the left due to Sanders but she just isn't yet at that sweet spot. I think he should demand students get 100k/year included in their free education and everyone gets a sky scraper as well. Then she could say she believes in free community college for up to 1 year and a mini shanty for everyone. Then we are all happy.

4. Ooooh!

Maybe she will support a minimum wage of $ 9.00 an hour! Happy Days Are Here Again with Hillary!

[Cobalt Violet]

5. phased in over 10 years of course.

Got to give business time to prepare.

[marble falls]

6. Sounding more like Bernie Sanders every day. And that is a good think if she's to be POTUS.

[riversedge]

8. You missed the major policy difference of the OP--Sanders college plan LEAVES FOLKS IN

THE RED STATES BEHIND!!

[Bubzer]

10. Do you have a link showing that?

[Red Oak]

7. I can imagine one where Bill and Hillary were never in the White House

and we still had a middle class.

That would be fairer.

No NAFTA, no CAFTA, no Wall Street run amok with leveraged buyouts, no offshore tax havens for corporations, no China in the WTO.

Easy to imagine.

9. There's a problem with this

"The former secretary of state panned her Democratic rival Sen. Bernie Sander’s free tuition plan, which she said relies on cooperation from governors like Wisconsin’s Scott Walker. "

"It will be like the ACA--Walker has NOT expanded Medicare. The people in these states--WILL BE LEFT BEHIND with Sanders college plan--just like the people in these states are left behind in health care."

"She vowed to expand Obamacare"

What will this expansion do if someone like Walker will not permit it? If we're left with just an expansion of Obamacare, which wont be allowed, and having someone come in like Bernie who wants single-payer, which wont be alloewd either, then it would see we should go for broke and get the guy in who proposes more. You know, force the issue out into the open, put pressure on republicans make THEM compramise and meet US in the middle.

11. ooh, wonderful news!

Elect Clinton and we can imagine a fairer economy. No, you wont get one but let your imagination run wild. Thanks Hill!

[lastlib]

15. +1

Just imagine!

Corporations paying 2% instead of zero taxes would be fairer, (meeting her criteria) but it still would be fair. One hundred dollars more financial aid for college students would be fairer, (meeting her criteria) but it still would be fair. Big banks paying one-thousand-dollar fines for their part in the2008 financial meltdown would be fairer, (meeting her criteria) but it still would be fair.

And, as you said, you won't get one but let your imagination run wild.

[mak3cats]

16. 'Zackly what I was thinking! (eom)

[HumanityExperiment]

12. "imagine 'fairer economy'"...

I'd love to 'imagine' a lot of things too but I'd rather work towards big goals that achieve greater opportunities rather than the micro half measures HRC proposes

HRC is and always will be republican light, her history validates that, her present and positions reinforce it


Our society deserves a bigger bolder thinker and policies that work towards that endeavour, HRC misses that completely with her campaign, Bernie is on target with his campaign

[LS_Editor]

13. When she privatizes Social Security we'll see what she thinks is fair for us.

Enough of this bullshit where we allow the states and corporations to spend federal money.

[Scalded Nun]

14. Yeah, go ahead and imagine it

Because that is as far as you are going to get, sucker.

[Chakaconcarne]

17. Because imagining is as close as we're going to get?

If she gets elected?
