希拉里在民主党纽约总统初选中击败桑德斯后，几乎已经确定可以获得提名。希拉里非常有经验，也在这个极端时代坚守着中间路线，然而，许多民主党人似乎不怎么开心，整个美国也是如此。为什么呢？
希拉里需要提出大胆的计划，以反制这挫折的氛围，可惜的是，从她的经济政策来看，她似乎比较倾向于小幅修正。
与90年代克林顿执政时期相较，今日的美国更加分裂，经济更为衰弱、问题也更多；有钱人变得更加富有，但2000年至今，大多数劳工的薪资皆呈现停滞。
民主党也与当时不同；桑德斯认为银行是罪犯，革命才是解决问题的唯一途径，而且许多年轻选民似乎同意他的看法。
希拉里如何面对这一切？她并没有靠向左派，而是坚守自己的立场，然而，她提出的解决方案常常有些站不住脚。
典型的希拉里经济演说，会以全球化和自动化伤害了低技能劳工为始，并以透过税赋优惠鼓励利润共享作结；这可能会重演90年代克林顿经济的重大错误 ─ 推出大量小型措施，让美国那复杂又缺乏效率的税制更显沉重。
有时，希拉里的政策显得有些繁琐。
例如，她担心华尔街的银行大到不能倒，希望能针对银行的债务增加税赋，然而，确保银行拥有足够资本，并缩小所有企业债务的扺税幅度，更简单也更有效果。
更糟的是，希拉里有时会忽视自己的诊断。例如，她同意，许多美国劳工的生活水准下降，主因在于科技与美中贸易。但她仍旧支持惩罚严苛的老版，也不思考如何协助贸易受害者，而是希望能放弃对美国有益的新贸易协定。
希拉里确实也有提出大胆的计划，但她应该更常怎么做才是。例如，想协助美国劳工，应该以增加竞争为始，去除不必要的规范，并确保大企业不受保护；全球化和科技革新之下的受害者也需要更多协助。
《经济学人》对希拉里的要求标准，的确高于其他参选人。不过，她得提出更具说服力的说法，原因在于，如果美国人认定带来重大改革的唯一方法，就是选出川普、克鲁兹或桑德斯，等同于政治中间派的灾难性失败。共和党深陷困境，代表希拉里或许真的有机会重塑美国，没有抓住这个机会、提出雄心十足的想法，实在太可惜了。

Hillary Clinton’s plans for the economy
Can she fix it?

Hillary PAC Spends $1 Million to ‘Correct’ Commenters on Reddit and Facebook
FEC loopholes mean Correct the Record can openly coordinate with Clinton’s campaign.
Citing “lessons learned from online engagement with ‘Bernie Bros,’” a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC is pledging to spend $1 million to “push back against” users on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.
Correct the Record’s “Barrier Breakers” project boasts in a press release that it has already “addressed more than 5,000 people that have personally attacked Hillary Clinton on Twitter.” The PAC released this on Thursday.
The PAC was created in May of last year when it was spun off from the American Bridge SuperPAC, which is run by longtime Hillary and Bill Clinton supporter David Brock. Brock also founded the left-wing media watchdog website Media Matters for America.
Some Bernie Sanders-supporting users on Reddit already started to notice the changes on Thursday afternoon.
“This explains why my inbox turned to cancer on Tuesday,” wrote user OKarizee. “Been a member of reddit for almost 4 years and never experienced anything like it. In fact, in all my years on the internet I’ve never experienced anything like it.”
Correct the Record, which has received $5 million this campaign season and has spent almost $4.5 million of it, according to OpenSecrets.org, outlined its strategy against “swarms of anonymous attackers” in a press release.
“While Hillary Clinton fights to break down barriers and bring America together, the Barrier Breakers 2016 digital task force will serve as a resource for supporters looking for positive content and push-back to share with their online progressive communities, as well as thanking prominent supporters and committed superdelegates on social media,” the statement read.
Due to FEC loopholes, the Sunlight Foundation’s Libby Watson found this year that Correct the Record can openly coordinate with Clinton’s campaign, despite rules that typically disallow political campaigns from working directly with PACs.
“SuperPACs aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidates. The whole reasoning behind (Supreme Court decision) Citizens United rests on (PACs) being independent, but Correct the Record claims it can coordinate,” Watson told The Daily Beast. “It’s not totally clear what their reasoning is, but it seems to be that material posted on the Internet for free—like, blogs—doesn’t count as an ‘independent expenditure.’”
Watson previously worked at Brock’s Media Matters for America, where “their whole mission is to debunk conservative misinformation [and] a lot of that ends up being defending Hillary Clinton,” but says she’s never seen anything like this initiative.
“Usually places like MMFA and CTR are defending her against the media and established figures. This seems to be going after essentially random individuals online,” she said. “I don’t know that they’ve done anything like this before.”
Campaign Legal Center lawyer Paul Ryan (who bears no relation to the Speaker of the House) told Time magazine in September of last year that Correct The Record is “creating new ways to undermine campaign regulation.” Watson used Ryan’s complaint in the Sunlight Foundation’s report about the most influential organizations working behind the scenes for the Clinton camp.
“Campaign finance lawyers are not that impressed with [CTR’s] logic, but they can get away with it because the [Federal Election Commission] is deadlocked and does nothing,” she said.
“Barrier Breakers 2016 is focused on pushing out positive content to Hillary supporters online to counter negative attacks and false narratives,” Correct the Record’s communications director, Elizabeth Shappell, told The Daily Beast. “The expanded task force was established in anticipation of the general election.”
