How many bat s*%t crazy policies has Hillary rolled out in the last year?

Her talk of "10-1 leveraging of infrastructure spending" got me started on this. As far as I can tell, in the context of fixing roads and bridges, this is just plain nuts.
She also supported a No Fly Zone over Syria not long ago. That was/is just freaking crazy.
Back in April she went into one of her political back flips on corn based ethanol. Again, this is a policy that makes no sense at all. The worst part of this was that she used to be on the sensible side of this issue, but decided to go off the deep end this time around.

Hillary's Big Iowa Flip-Flop
Why Clinton is the biggest hypocrite in the race when it comes to ethanol, an expensive, environmentally destructive fuel that benefits Iowa’s powerful corn lobby
They said consumers would be “forced” to use ethanol and that the legislation was “the equivalent of a new gasoline tax.” In all, during her stint in the Senate, Clinton voted against ethanol 17 times.
But when she set her sites on the White House and realized she had to kowtow – just as Barack Obama was doing – to Big Corn in Iowa, she flipped like a hotcake. In early 2007, during a visit to Des Moines, Clinton said that the US needs to work on “limiting our dependence on foreign oil. And we have a perfect example right here in Iowa about how it can work with all of the ethanol that’s being produced here.”
The sole reason for her flip-flop: her desire to win the Iowa caucuses, which is the first crucially important contest in the race for president. More ethanol production means more money for Iowa farmers and ethanol producers, but it’s a loser for most everyone else in the country. It’s also a negative for the environment and for people who like to eat. John DeCicco, a research professor at the University of Michigan’s Energy Institute, recently published a report which found that “there’s no climate benefit” from using biofuels. Meanwhile, researchers looking at the Gulf of Mexico are expecting another huge “dead zone” (also known as a hypoxia zone) this year, thanks in large part to fertilizer-laden runoff from corn farms in the Midwest.
So which ones am I forgetting? There must be more.
