(10,173 posts)It was a simple sincere question because I honestly wondered what it is you saw in her policies to make such a claim.
"Right wing economic policy like continuing to promote for private profit health care insurance, school privatization, and exclusionary "free" higher ed policies all favored the rich and ensured that any programs created would instantly have constituencies that oppose them due to the fact that they would be paying into the programs but unable to partake from them. Counter productive and idiotic. "
If you mean her attempts to fix the ACA - that is not a "right wing" position. If you have an issue with the involvement of private insurers as a principle, I'd suggest you look to France where they've found a good model that is a public/private hybrid. Premiums are an issue and needs to be fixed, and Hillary always wanted to expand insurance for Americans.
Otherwise you aren't making sense.
She advocated for paid family and medical leave for both parents, increasing the min. wage, pushing for equal pay for women, college debt reduction options ( with free college for those in lower income brackets), infrastructure investment, clear and clinical steps to tackle wall street, increased investment in STEM, a tech innovation plan ( while bare at least she had one, Trump didn't ) , a phase out period for fossil fuel industries, so jobs aren't significantly impacted while continuing to invest in green energy/renewables, retraining with emphasis on providing alternative pathways to wealth creation for those without degrees.... *etc etc etc etc ..
