Debate? Having this in the lounge gives it visibility and allows us to have an open forum, political discussion, but we must be aware of the idiots.

Wikipedia is God.

In January 2008 Clinton announced she wanted to enact a "stimulus package" totaling as much as $110 billion, to deal with the effects of a possible recession. The package would consists of funds to help deal with the effect of the subprime mortgage crisis, to help lower-income families pay for higher home energy costs, to extend unemployment insurance, and to possibly provide some tax refunds.[5]

Clinton has not signed the tax cut pledge from Americans for Tax Reform, which pledges not to create new taxes or raise existing ones while in office.[6] Clinton advocates repealing portions of the Bush tax cuts, effectively increasing some taxes to the higher rates which existed in 2000.

That sounds lovely. Fiscal planning that benefits the welfare of the American people. But what concerns me is that, in order to support the blue collar Americans that work their fingers to the bone, only to find out that they can't afford to send their child off to college with extreme debt, she will also be chopping their knees by raising tax. Bitch, sign the paper. I understand that in order to get a little, you need to give a little, but there must be a better way to acquire funds without hurting the people you wish to help.

"I believe that. That's why I put it in the book...And I just believe that there's got to be a healthy tension among all of our institutions in society, and that the market is the driving force behind our prosperity, our freedom in so many respects to make our lives our own but that it cannot be permitted just to run roughshod over people's lives as well."

Wait... what? So, would you rather a socialist economy? I don't think the American free market is ready for that, toots. Since the world of capitalism is in the pocket of blue-beared conservatives, convincing the country that this will work will be a task from hell. We'd get more support by just destroying Iran and making it a parking lot. America is a consumer society because of capitalism, but because of capitalism, America stands as a wealthy society that can afford to provide a sound financial future for generations to come. I want more details on your ideal "free market," Hilary.

On December 5, 2007, Clinton unveiled her plan to ameliorate the effects of the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis on homeowners. She called for a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures, in order that lenders and mortgage servicers have sufficient time to get through paperwork complications and an expected high volume of troubled borrowers without having to shut out the lights, and a five-year freeze on the interest rates of adjustable rate mortgages, so that borrowers would not get slammed by expected 30, 40 or more percent increases in monthly payments due to the effects of the crisis and of unwise initial borrowing decisions.

Impressive.

How I feel about Hilary on cash, money, cheddar, stack bundles (not the rapper, but RIP to him), paper, etc...

I'm not convinced. However, she shows potential. In this day and age, considering the political crosshairs that she's in, that's not good enough.
