2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Was Liberal. Hillary Clinton Is Liberal. [View all]raindaddy
(1,370 posts)48. Hillary's a social liberal and an economic moderate...
What you won't see from Hillary Clinton. She won't regulate the banks.. She's against Glass Steagall. She's against breaking up the too big to fail banks. She's against expanding Social Security benefits and squishy on lifting the payroll cap on the payroll tax.
What you will see is appointments of Wall Street and corporate insiders throughout her administration... Along with the same third way excuse we've been given ad nauseam, "who knows Wall Street, big oil, etc better than someone who's been in the business?"
So if you're a social liberal and a conservative when it comes to the economy and foreign policy, Hillary's you candidate. But if you're telling yourself Hillary an across the board liberal you're fooling yourself.
