[h=6]- AUGUST 14, 2016 -[/h][h=1]ICYMI: CLINTON’S NEWEST EMPTY JOBS PROMISE[/h]Please read the following excerpts from “Why would anyone believe Hillary’s promise of 10 million jobs?” by The New York Post’s Editorial Board, 8/14/16
Hillary Clinton was scheduled to lay out her economic plans Thursday but instead spent much of her time bashing Donald Trump — and offering little of anything new.
No wonder: She has so little to offer, at least when it comes to jobs.
…
Clinton did repeat her claim Thursday that her economic plan would create 10.4 million jobs by 2026. She has said 640,000 of these will be in New York.
Ha! New Yorkers are still waiting for the 200,000 jobs she promised for upstate back in 2000, when she was running for the Senate.
Anyone who buys her new promises probably also believes she had no classified e-mails on her home-brewed server.
…
It doesn’t account for the cost of her programs. A Tax Foundation analysis of the net impact says Clinton’s plan would actually shrink the economy 1 percent and produce 0.8 percent lower wages — and 311,000 fewer jobs.
What do you expect? All told, Hillary’s tax hikes would suck $1.3 trillion from taxpayers’ pockets. How on earth is that supposed to create jobs?
And Clinton herself doesn’t pretend any new jobs on her watch would be true, private-sector-generated jobs.
…
Fact is, she’s really more interested in growing government than jobs. Which is too bad: With years of weak wage growth and record numbers of people out of the labor market, polls show Americans rank job-creation among their top priorities.
Yet all Hillary can do is make more of the same empty promises she’s already broken.
