Clinton calls for breaking up too-big-to-fail banks

But then Clinton escaped the Senate through an unlikely opportunity. As secretary of state, Clinton helped to shape the pact. Clinton is now attempting to set herself apart by criticizing her former boss. The now-united opposition from the party’s presidential contenders leaves Obama in the uncomfortable position of watching a Democratic debate next week in which none of the major candidates is willing to defend a deal that the White House sees as a key piece of his presidential legacy. Clinton’s new stances are a clear attempt to separate the party, and her campaign, from Obama’s tenure in office. Her political weakness, fairly or not, is that the voters and the media-or maybe it’s the media and, thus, the voters-have decided that she’s unusually poll-tested and calculating, even for a politician.

She also expressed concern that the deal would be a boon for the pharmaceutical industry.

For an encore, Clinton has just proposed a punitive tax on high-frequency trading, labeling risk-taking that creates liquidity in the markets as “an abuse”. “I was there when it was not so popular”, Sanders said, in a statement. Their influence is growing and Clinton wants to put them under more regulation. Increased trade with those nations strikes us as something nearly certain to produce net job gains in the U.S. We wouldn’t favor it otherwise.

The president narrowly won that authority, and then only with the rare assistance of congressional Republicans, who by and large support the idea of an agreement. I have a plan to build on the progress weve made under President Obama and do just that, Clinton said in a written statement.

“I will do my part to make sure that these issues get the attention they deserve in the presidential campaign and, more importantly, in the White House”, Clinton told the Human Rights Campaign.

“We can’t let countries like China write the rules of the global economy”, Obama said Monday.

CNN’s Jake Tapper has a deep list citing the 45 times Clinton said she was for TPP.

The day before Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ended months of political drama by coming out against the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, one of her former State Department aides was singing its praises. She used to claim as much.

“This is wrong, and on my watch it will change”, she said.

Hillary Clinton is running scared, and since the unions, greens, and most liberals are adamantly opposed to the TPP, she simply can’t afford to be the only Dem candidate for president who supported the deal.

Here’s a selection of Clinton’s quotes over the years in support of the so-called TPP. Bernie Sanders has gained ground against her in early primary states with a populist economic message that vows to take on the “billionaires”. She was on the losing side of an administration debate over arming and training moderate rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. “The result cost 9 million Americans their jobs, drove 5 million families out of their homes and wiped out more than $13 trillion in household wealth”.

Hillary Clinton seems to prefer maintaining distance from the major administration policies. In addition, Clinton wants to reduce “dangerous risks in the financial system” and ensure that it will serve the best interests of investors and consumers, “so that everyday Americans can save and invest with confidence that they’re getting a fair shake”.
