Hillary Clinton Calls for $275 Billion in Federal Infrastructure Spending

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

Iowa and New Hampshire feature less African Americans and Hispanic voters than most Democratic presidential primary and caucus states.

Clinton’s plan to increase the federal government’s spending on infrastructure by $275 billion over the next five years will be fully paid for by changing how businesses are taxed, a campaign aide said, without providing any details.

You know Hillary-hate. You’ve seen it before: It’s Tucker Carlson proclaiming that “when she comes on television, I involuntarily cross my legs”. I want our workers to be the most competitive and productive in the world.

The State Department turned the Clinton calendars over to AP under the federal Freedom of Information Act earlier this month after censoring many meeting entries for privacy reasons or to protect internal deliberations. “Get your sledgehammers ready, because we’ve got a glass ceiling to demolish”.

“Nobody comes closer to her achievements”, said Walsh, a former union member. “I want to use every tool we can to invest in infrastructure and build a stronger, more prosperous future”. Although there is no obvious foreign policy matter that would cause a busy Secretary of State to devote time to a domestic union boss, Weingarten met with Clinton in October 2009.

The Clinton campaign could not explain those discrepancies but said that the candidate had made a good-faith effort to be transparent by giving her work-related emails to the State Department for public release. The remaining $25 billion would go into a national infrastructure bank, or “Strategic Infrastructure Bank”.

But while Clinton has clear advantages over her opponents, some S.C. Democrats are placing their bets elsewhere – preferring to back the underdog U.S. Sen.

If used inappropriately-just like the USA itself-the middle finger can convey a negative message and get us in trouble.

I believe that those on the progressive left who join in the villification of Hillary, are wrong about what she would be like as president.

One of the individuals Clinton met with repeatedly at the State Department was Randi Weingarten, the chief of the American Federation of Teachers who is also on the board of Priorities USA Action, a Super PAC supporting Clinton in 2016.

“We’re going to work our a– off for her, I’ll tell you that”, he said. “Now there are those who have turned those ladders down and left them in disrepair and are fighting us for putting them back up”, Clinton said to the crowd.

Clinton says Sanders would require middle-class Americans to pay higher taxes to fund his single-payer health care plan, a charge his campaign disputes.

Infrastructure has always been a focus on Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Republicans have called the plan irresponsible and outrageously expensive, pointing out that – in total – Clinton has now proposed over $1 trillion in new spending.
