Hillary Clinton: Trickle-down economics needs to be "buried six feet under."



In the Iowa City Public Library today, Hillary Clinton began laying out the positions that she will focus on during her campaign for the Presidency. Among the highlights were her strong denouncement of trickle down economics, her staunch support for a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and her uncompromising stance on the NRA.

Hillary squarely laid the blame for the nation's economic problems, particularly income inequality to the policies pursued by Republican presidents and flatly stated that trickle-down economics needs to be "buried six feet under".

"There seems to be a pattern here, and we cannot afford to go back to the failed economic policies of the past," she said. "We have to be committed to electing a Democrat who will build on what works with actual evidence ... so that we build shared prosperity that everybody benefits from."

She also took on the Republican Party presidential field who fight against allowing undocumented immigrants to stay in this country.

"I don't care how many people running for president on the Republican side try to demean immigrants, insult immigrants, cast aspersions on immigrants," Clinton said. "We are not going to deport 11 or 12 million people."
