Clinton urges supporters to imagine 'fairer economy' during stop in La Crosse
Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday called on La Crosse County voters to support her plan for rebuilding the middle class through education, promoting a green energy economy and expanding access to health care.
Clinton exhorted supporters to imagine “a fairer economy.”
“We have to restore the potential of America’s dream for everybody,” she said. “I don’t want Americans giving up on themselves.”
Clinton spoke to about 400 people 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.
The former secretary of state panned her Democratic rival Sen. Bernie Sander’s free tuition plan, which she said relies on cooperation from governor’s 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 also called for raising the minimum wage (she supports a $12 per hour federal minimum, while Sanders has called for $15).
