Sanders: Clinton’s Wall Street remarks ‘a little bit absurd’
“Well, John, wait a minute. Let’s be frank here”, she said.
She went on to cite her experience representing NY in the U.S. Senate from January 2001 until early 2009. “Where were we attacked?”
“I’ve laid out a very aggressive plan to reign in Wall Street, not just the big banks. hat’s a part of the problem and I am going right at them”.
“That was good for NY”.
But the campaigns of two of Clinton’s would-be Republican challengers are taking in far more from Wall Street than her 2016 campaign. “I am still sick and exhausted of Hillary Clinton’s email”, he said.
Clinton has always been supportive of a 12-week paid family leave program and has used the issue to repeatedly knock Republicans. “I don’t think they saw that as something appropriate to do, to mask her coziness and her closeness to Wall Street and all of the architects of the crash of 2008”.
At Simpson College, Sanders also said the Paris attacks showed that the United States can’t address the crisis of raging extremism on its own.
Clinton rejected that line, which seemed to be aimed at her, but defended her donations by making a seemingly nonsensical links between her female donors, the terrorist attacks Manhattan and the economic good produced on Wall Street.
Sanders’ campaign, on the other hand, has argued that the tax increases are worth it because of that benefits they would lead to.
As a self-described democratic socialist, Sanders has never come under much national attention as a Senator from left-leaning Vermont. He also has increasingly launched direct attacks on Clinton.
The 2 million members strong SEIU has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
“I voted against those big tax cuts”.
While payroll taxes are split between the employer and the employee, economists and the Congressional Budget Office have said that most of those fees are carried by the workers in the form of lower wages.
“When we were attacked, where were we attacked?”
But that opened him up to criticism from Clinton, who noted that America is different from Denmark.
“It is a stretch”.
“Sixty seven percent of Democratic primary voters said Clinton won the debate, Public Policy Polling (PPP) found in its survey, conducted for the pro-Clinton super-PAC Correct The Record”.
The endorsement represents another show of strength for Clinton, who has locked up most of the major unions despite Sanders’ message of helping workers overcome income inequality.
“She knows that workers being able to join together and collectively bargain is essential to building an economy that works for everybody”, Ms. Henry told NYT.
O’Malley then pivoted to Clinton’s remarks. Bernie Sanders put Clinton on the defensive when he said Wall Street had been the major contributor to her campaigns.
And she took a swipe at Obama’s declaration on Friday that the Islamic State had been contained, saying, “We have to look at ISIS as the leading threat of an global terror network”.
Even as the field responded somberly to the deadly attacks in Paris, the debate Saturday night marked a feistier phase in the Democratic campaign.
