Hillary Clinton Agrees With Thomas Piketty: Inequality Is 'Very Threatening To Democracy'

[JDPriestly]

12. But who will she consult when she appoints the Fed chair, the Commerce secretary,

the Treasury secretary, the heads of the SEC, Commodities, Communications, etc. agencies. Because that is where a president shows where she stands on the issues.

What has Hillary done in the past, what did Bill Clinton do in the past, to lessen the advantage of capital and increase the value of labor? Not nearly enough.

I'm very skeptical, not as to whether Hillary sincerely believes what she has said, but whether she knows how to change the situation.

The TPP will not lessen the devaluation of labor in our country. It will not strengthen our democracy. Is Hillary ready to admit that? Is she willing to admit that the Keystone Pipeline would have been a disaster for our farmlands?

Is she willing to admit that NAFTA and CAFTA and GATT were mistakes and have seriously harmed American labor and our democracy? Is she willing to give our students a break on their student loans and tell American technology firms that rather than hire foreigners on H1-B visas, they need to train and educate Americans to fill the jobs.

Is she willing to shut the door on some of the cheap products we import so that we can at least become much more self-sufficient?
