Hillary Clinton is known for her shameless hypocrisy, but her broadside Tuesday against Donald Trump was over the top — even for her.
Start with the fact that, while her whole point was to slam Trump’s economic plans, she kicked it off by lauding — yes, lauding — President Obama’s economic record.
This, when Obama’s the first president in history never to see 3 percent growth or more in a single year of his watch. When record numbers of workers have given up on finding jobs and dropped out of the labor market. When the Federal Reserve predicts sluggish (at best) growth for the next few years.
Yet Clinton claims this is her role model for boosting the economy.
It gets worse:
* She claimed Trump will balloon the national debt, even though the president she praises has doubled it — and she’s promised more of the same, with her own calls for massive new spending.
Citing a study from an Obama-friendly economist, she claimed Trump’s ideas would lead to job losses and noted he’s famous for saying, “You’re fired.” Meanwhile, Clinton herself openly promised to put lots of coal miners out of work.
* She accused Trump of viewing Americans as “losers” — but then gave her idea of how government should treat them: unable to cope unless Uncle Sam pays their health-care costs, college debt and child-care bills.
* She charges Trump would bring “the whole regulatory system down on his critics.” Uh, like the way Obama’s IRS landed on his critics?
* She warns that Trump would “rig the economy for Wall Street.” But who’s the one who’s taken hundreds of millions from Wall Street for her campaign and the family slush fund — er, foundation?
