Hillary Clinton Unveils $275 Billion Infrastructure Plan

“I’m the only Democratic candidate in this race who will pledge to raise your incomes, not your taxes”, Clinton said at Faneuil Hall, an apparent reference to Sanders’ single-payer health care plan, which Clinton’s campaign says will require a middle-class tax hike.

“It’s OK, they’ll be with us in the final”, Walsh said.

It was Clinton’s second major policy event in Boston. “This afternoon just gets better and better”, she said, after Walsh leaned in to whisper something to her. She also mentioned her friendship with the late mayor Tom Menino.

Mrs. Clinton emphasized that her five year, $275 billion plan to invest in infrastructure will create good paying jobs and build the future that America deserves.

Hillary Clinton just followed her flip-flop on immigration with a flip right back.

“I know this isn’t going to be easy”, she said. “But I will also do it in a way that furthers and promotes our values and makes it absolutely clear that this country of ours will continue to lead the world”. “I want us, once again, to think big and look up, beyond the horizon of what is possible in America”.

In an appeal for more stringent gun control, Clinton drew a connection between the Colorado shooting, which left three dead, and the terrorist attack on Paris earlier this month.

Sanders has received strong words of support from a range of organized labor heads, including Massachusetts AFL-CIO President Steve Tolman.

“Nobody comes closer to her experience, nobody comes closer to her achievements”, Walsh added. She emphasized that the country’s infrastructure- airports, bridges, electric grids, railways, and roads need repairs.

Already Clinton has proposed an array of new federal programs, including a $350 billion college affordability plan.

Clinton aides say her economic initiatives will be the most expensive of her campaign and plan to roll out proposals for new investments in manufacturing and research in the coming weeks. The polling data also found that voters prefer the former first lady over the Vermont senator 3-to-1 when it comes to key presidential characteristics, including the ability to combat terrorism and climate change and having the competence to get things done.

To great applause, Clinton thanked the trade unions that she said never stopped investing in their workforces, even in the middle of the recent recession, and voiced her support for them and their extensive training programs required for often-dangerous jobs.

Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s toughest competitor for the nomination, offered brief remarks on the issue, wedged into comments he made on campaign finance and same-sex marriage.
