Clinton Launches “Hats for Hillary” Infrastructure Plan

Clinton outlined her plan at a “Hard Hats for Hillary” event in Boston comprised of unionized supporters in the construction, building and transportation industries.

In her remarks the Democratic candidate previewed a $275 billion plan to improve the country’s roads, bridges and power grids, and said she would create a national infrastructure bank that would support up to $250 billion as additional investment that would go to cities and states for local projects.

Hillary Clinton will use the month of December to focus on her jobs agenda, according to campaign aides, staring with her rally here on Sunday, where the 2016 candidate will roll out details of her infrastructure plan.

“Get your sledge hammers ready, because we’ve got a glass ceiling to demolish!” he shouted into the microphone, before turning the stage over to Clinton. The billionaire investor and Omaha resident was set to talk tax reform with Clinton at a December 16 event aimed at boosting grassroots support, the Omaha World-Herald reported exclusively Sunday. “I want us, once again, to think big and look up, beyond the horizon of what is possible in America”. Those formally scheduled meetings involved heads of companies and organizations that pursued business or private interests with the Obama administration, including with the State Department while Clinton was in charge. Among his reasons for supporting Clinton, Walsh cited her experience and proven hardiness, calling the former First Lady and senator “battle-tested”. Her plan is designed to bring into focus the different approaches to creating jobs of both political parties.

Walsh joined Clinton at Faneuil Hall, after saying Saturday that he felt Clinton was the best person for the job.

As part of her infrastructure plan, Clinton also called for Congress to pass the long-time highway bill by the end of the year, and said that she wants Internet in 100 percent of households by 2020.

“They’re trying to offer to the American voter, ‘Please choose option A over option B, ‘ which is the Republican, ‘Let’s just cut taxes; let’s use our money to shrink everything about the government, ‘” Goolsbee said. Clinton will provide more information about the plan tomorrow.

That led to President Obama to propose a so-called Buffett Rule that would require people making $1 million or more to pay at least 30% in federal taxes.

The Clinton campaign could not explain those discrepancies but said the candidate had made a good-faith effort to be transparent by giving her work-related emails to the State Department for public release.
