Hillary: What I really meant was that businesses do create jobs

Remember when Hillary, just a few days ago, said that Businesses Don’t Create Jobs, Gubmint does:

“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs”

That was then. This is now.

Via Buzzfeed:

When Hillary Clinton fumbled a line at a rally last Friday — “Don’t let anybody tell you that corporations and businesses create jobs” — the comment caused a minor outrage among political observers. Republicans said she’d been pandering to liberals. Democrats wondered if she’d been trying too hard to channel Elizabeth Warren, the populist senator who also spoke at the event.On Monday, Clinton went out of her way to correct the comment at a rally for Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the Democrat up for reelection in this Hudson Valley district.Clinton said in her speech that corporations that outsource jobs or move profits overseas should not be granted tax breaks. The clarification made clear that the remark was a botched line — not new messaging from Clinton, who has honed a new stump speech during a series of rallies ahead the election next month.“The Republican alternative is a discredited economic theory that will hurt middle class families,” Clinton said. “So-called trickle-down economics has failed.”“I short-handed this point the other day, so let me be absolutely clear about what I’ve been saying for a couple of decades.”“Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in America and workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out — not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas.”A Clinton aide pointed to the remarks at the Maloney event as clarification to she had meant to say in her speech last week.

She’s “ready” to be President Clinton, or President Kerry.
