As Donald Trump continues to ramp up his Breitbart inspired scapegoating of the press, the nation remains dumbfounded by his campaign’s weird blend of gaffs and/or and alarming hate speech. The man continues to suck all the oxygen out of the room. He’s a black hole for H2O.
So, in the interest of getting everyone back to the oxygen free zone, I’ll make this brief.
Millions of Trump supporters are feeling the pain of underemployment and unemployment. These three Clinton campaign initiatives will change the game on their behalf.
- Raise minimum wage to $12 – $15 an hour.
- Invest in a massive upgrade of America’s crumbling infrastructure.
- Invest in a renewable energy revolution
Clinton has this to say:
“In my first 100 days as president, I will work with both parties to pass a comprehensive plan to create the next generation of good jobs. Now the heart of my plan will be the biggest investment in American infrastructure in decades, including establishing an infrastructure bank that will bring private sector dollars off the sidelines and put them to work there.”
When Clinton talks about repairing America’s crumbling bridges, schools and highways; when she talks about making America a leader in renewable energy and building the next generation internet, what she’s talking about is good paying new jobs that must take place here in America. Ever try and repair an Arizona highway overpass in China? The shipping costs alone will eat you alive.
So, want to make America great? To paraphrase James Carvelle, It’s jobs, stupid. (Good paying ones.) And Hillary’s got the plan to bring them.

You’re a smart guy, Mark. And horribly naive. Nice to be optimistic though. 1. Wages to 12 or 15 per hour. Find out how that’s working in Seattle. Wages to the aggregate have dropped about 4.5% why? Because business owners cut staff, cut hours and increased technology. Even if all raised their wages, inflation would eat it up and you’d be right back where you started but now demanding 20 an hour. 2. We have no real money to invest in the crumbling infrastructure. That was pissed away on the recovery act that gained us nothing. Obama bailed out the… Read more »
