Rand Paul Mocks Hillary Clinton Over Jobs Remark

Source: Huffington Post

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) wasted no time turning a Hillary Clinton remark about jobs into a laugh line on the campaign trail.

Republicans seized on the remark last week when, in a speech denouncing "trickle down" economics, the former secretary of state said, "Don't let anybody tell you that it's corporations and businesses that create jobs." Three days later, however, Clinton was back on the trail to take another stab at an argument popularized by progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

"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 an America where 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," she said.

"Hillary Clinton comes up and she says, 'Businesses don't create jobs.' Anybody here think businesses don't create jobs?" Paul added. "I'm here today to endorse Pat Roberts and Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, because you know what? They know that businesses do create jobs, and I hope you know that too."

Fox News and Rand Paul are on the attack savaging Hillary Clinton for suggesting that our economy is driven by fully employed workers purchasing goods. Instead, all that is holy and good comes from corporate America. How long before Chuck Todd intones that Hillary has disqualified herself?

1. Fox News - "Media pounce on Hillary’s jobs gaffe, float Jeb’s trial balloon"

Fox News clarifies that it is not Republican talking points, but that the liberal media that is pouncing on Hillary's gaffe. Hopefully, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders avoid the mistake of not giving proper credit to corporate America. Jobs are like manna descending down from heaven distributed through the divine grace of billionaires like the Koch brothers. Who needs employed American consumers or even elderly Americans who are dependent on Social Security?

Hillary Clinton’s gaffe about jobs is resonating for several reasons—not least because the media have decided she’s no Elizabeth Warren.

The media narrative du jour is that Hillary is out of step with the populist mood of the Democratic Party—as embodied by the Wall Street-bashing Massachusetts senator who many pundits are still hoping will challenge her. So they are guaranteed to pounce on any mistake that feeds Hillary’s image as an establishment figure who is struggling to be more like Liz.

It’s hard to believe that the former first lady managed to echo Barack Obama’s “you didn’t build that” blunder, given how long that bedeviled the president.

“Don’t let anybody tell you that corporations and businesses create jobs,” Hillary told a Boston rally. “You know that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly.” Perhaps it was no coincidence that Warren was also there, stumping for struggling gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley.
