Reply #48: don't have to spread bullshit, either.

[Warren DeMontague]

The Clintons are rich. They are. They are allegedly spending a large sum of money on something that will probably provide a decent, if temporary, boost to the livelihoods of many small businesses and workers associated with this thing. What they are NOT DOING is arguing that somehow their spending that money means that we should dismantle the social safety net. That's why this isn't "trickle down" anything.

They have the money. You can fulminate all you want that they shouldn't be allowed to have it, or that you should be personally in charge of approving all their expenditures, but as it is, they have it, and apparently they can spend it. Look at it this way; they're not having the wedding in Mumbai or Shenzen, are they?
