wage equaling living wage in every country, or the protection of unions, workers rights, environment in every treaty.
Indeed what she does say is to ask us to favor humanization over Globalization, and to work on workforce development - as shown below:
As with any sweeping change in history, there are those who are great proponents of globalization,
there are others who are great opponents. The real challenge is not to engage in an argument, but to try better to understand the forces that are at work and to harness those forces on behalf of society. To ensure that globalization, however one defines it, is never a substitute for humanization, never a force for marginalization, and not an enemy of the values that have long shaped our society.

The American first lady argued that globalization is "in and of itself neither a good nor an evil," but added that it could succeed only with a balance of government, economics and a civil society with access to education, health care and financial credit. "I've met people whose lives were transformed by something as simple as a loan of $15" in developing countries, she said, urging large institutions to be sure they are not neglecting such small aid programs "in the great sweep of a global economy."

(workforce development is the only route to go in the era of globalization) it's not about penalizing low-cost countries but about making our labor more competitive. It's not about keeping jobs at all costs, but being able to "replace the ones we have lost with even better ones." ... "innovation, new job creation, workforce development, connectivity expansion, and collaboration between industry, academia, labor and government."
Indeed just as she does not say what I want her to say on the vote on IWR - namely that knowing what she knows now she would have voted no. Instead she says she was "not ready to answer 'yes'" to Der Spiegel's question whether misleading information was used to launch the war in Iraq. "I know my husband received the same intelligence information ." Clinton asserted that "the real question is have we obtained accurate information, or have the findings been altered for military or political purposes?"
I think simple language like yes and no would help her get elected Pres in 08.
