(7,865 posts)She really is very details light.
Oh except for her typical garbage like her revenue-neutral nineties rehash policies.
Like her tax credit for companies that pay out profit sharing bonuses. It really is the perfect little do-nothing policy that will actually diminish revenue needed for public programs while doling out tax breaks to corporations that are already giving bonuses. The breaks are not significant enough to actually be cost effective unless a company decides to make that part of their payment package to employees in which case they get to claim it on their taxes and save money for themselves while, once again, shafting the collected revenue.
This is one of the reasons that third-way bullshit is so dangerous. It pretends to solve a problem and ends up costing us more in the long run through uncollected revenue and increased deficits. Deficits that they will cut by cutting human services.
ARRGHH!!!!
Damn it, we really, really, really need Bernie!
