To summarize:

" In an April 14 press conference in Monticello, Iowa, she laid out the four pillars of her platform:

Create the economy of tomorrow, not yesterday. She recognizes that income inequality is depressing demand, and slowing economic growth. She mentioned that hedge fund managers pay lower taxes (via the capital gains tax) than most middle-class Americans. Her focus is on creating jobs, and may steal from husband Bill's 14 job creation ideas.

Strengthen families. This would presumably include the emphasis on "healthcare, education, and enrichment emphasized in the newly-released epilog to her book, Hard Choices. She supports Obama’s proposal to make community college free.

Defense. She supports free trade agreements, which she's said is more important than defense in establishing global leadership. So, you can expect her to push for a comprehensive defense solution that includes diplomacy as much as military might. (Source: The Daily Beast, Clinton Speech to Economic Club, October 14, 2011)

Change campaign financing."

I know Bernie has a plan also, and I found it as easily as I found Clinton's.

There are one or two degrees of seperation in a few areas of actual policy versus actual rhetoric.
