At Omaha rally, Hillary Clinton echoes convention promises on economy and education

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Jeffrey Robb

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton praised the economic progress in Nebraska and across the country, and said she’s ready to lead America to address its continued economic challenges.

Clinton, speaking at Omaha North High School Monday, said the United States has come back from the Great Recession. But she said too many people haven’t received a raise since the financial crash and “there’s too much inequality and too little opportunity.”

Clinton’s campaign billed her event as an opportunity to discuss “her commitment to building an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.”

As president, Clinton said her overriding mission would be to help the country create more jobs with rising incomes. Anybody who is willing to work hard, she said, should be able to find a job that pays well and can support a family.

Great pictures, OS!

She's supporting the Buffet Rule - the billionaire boss shouldn't pay a lower tax rate than his secretary!

Common sense Midwestern values.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett on Tuesday predicted Democrat Hillary Clinton would run for the U.S. presidency in 2016 and win.

"Hillary is going to run," said Buffett, the chairman and chief executive of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway Inc, speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit in Laguna Niguel, California.

"Hillary's going to win," said Buffett, saying he'd be willing to "bet money on it."

Buffett is ranked by Forbes as the third-richest person in the world.
