If you could, what questions would you ask Hlllary? [View all]

Her website is virtually content free when it comes to policy. Nor has she laid out any specifics. I despise Christie and Rubio and Cruz, but they are being specific- horrifying as those specifics are.


These are some the questions I want her to answer:

What specific policies do you propose to deal with income inequality?


What policies do you propose for dealing with regulation re financial institutions?

Do you support raising the income cap on social security? At what income? Do you support expanding SS benefits- as the vast majority of the public does?

What plans do you have to make college more affordable?

Many corporations not only pay no federal taxes, they get hundreds of millions in rebates? What solutions do you propose?

Why do you think the the TPP and TTIP would benefit working Americans?

Do you have any concerns about fracking?

How would you approach wage stagnation and job creation? Public investment? Infrastructure spending?

Vague platitudes about being a champion for the middle class and how the playing field is uneven aren't a vision. And yes, she's had plenty of time to formulate specifics.
