51. She was pro-NAFTA before she was against it, and she's pro-TPP

Apr 2014

as it's been pointed out even here that she helped draft it, and it's easy enough to google up articles on her giving pro-TPP speeches.

Add Walmart board membership, $400k Goldman Sachs speeches, and the rest of her history in re economics, and she's no 'liberal' when it comes to the economic well-being of the little people. She's another one of the Dems who believe that the poor should be given a few crumbs to keep them alive and able to work to continue to enrich their overlords, rather than Republicans who would simply work them til they starve.

She's good on social issues because those don't endanger the flow of money upwards.
