Hillary Clinton: Trickle-Down Ignorance

Originally Published in American Thinker.

"Computers, the internet, and cell phones came of age during her husband’s administration, "Trickle Down" was working just fine then."

Hillary Rodham Clinton, future president of the U.S., was deviously rubbing her hands together like one of the Witches of Eastwick when she delivered this line: “Don’t let anybody – don’t let anybody – tell you that, ah, you know, it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.  You know that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried; that has failed.  It has failed rather spectacularly.”

Of course it is businesses and corporations that create jobs.  Citing “trickle-down economics” is just ignorant.  It shows a basic lack of understanding of economics and a lack of understanding of the Democrats’ own propaganda canard – trickle-down.
