What are the specifics of Hillary Clinton's plan to revitalize the middle class and end the [View all]

extreme income disparity that is destroying the economy of our country?

I don't see the structure of it.

She says she wants to make college more "affordable."

She wants paid family leave I gather.

She wants higher wages -- but how high?

She says she wants to strengthen Social Security. How does she want to do that? Is she now willing to raise the cap on the taxable income?

She says she wants to clean up Wall Street but also the "dark economy."

What other programs is she proposing to help the middle class and the poor?

And how does she propose to pay for them?

Thanks. I have not been able to glean anything but vague ideas from what she says.

She wants to do something, but what?

Hilalry supporters ask how Bernie is going to pay for his proposals. He is providing answers to that question. Hillary is not. So, how is Hillary going to find the money to fund her proposals?

How is she going to find the money to fund her international interventions?

Who is going to pay for Hillary's programs?
