Why on earth would anyone give their child a Stanford education so the child can go to work at a hedge fund on graduation?

Think of all the interesting, worthwhile, noble and creative things a Stanford graduate can do. The world could be your oyster; you could fulfill your dreams. What a brilliant future you could have.

At a hedge fund?

Something is wrong.

It gave me an idea if we made Hillary President and had her do speeches to pay off the National Debt...sadly it would take her 165 years of zero interest with no breaks to pull it off. Too bad, could have been a good selling point. On a side note who would cover her speaking fees for the state of the Union?

Hillary giving the State of the Union speech with corporate logos behind her like they have around the perimeter at basketball and soccer games. At least it would be out in the open...

How much more would she have to insist teachers get paid for that to no longer be true? Alternatively, how much more would she have to tax hedge fund managers? Is she actually willing to do either of those things? I don't think so. Saying something is "not acceptable" is meaningless rhetoric if you're not offering a solution.

Trying so hard to be one of the "cool kids". Bernie and his followers run circles around her on Twitter. Just like when Obama was out in front on the use of social media.

She reminds me of this commercial

Anonymous told me that the speech went something like this: "Let me be clear, I will never support nor allow any legislation attempting to regulate banks. Please make the check out to Clinton Cash."

Right into their personal bank accounts.

Repubs are crazy mad about this too - mainly because their guys haven't been able to pull that kinda take off... lol
