Hillary embraces corporate welfare, and attacks Bernie Sanders for opposing it

[Bubzer]

Speaking Tuesday at the Machinists union hall in Everett, Clinton said “I just shook my head” when Sanders criticized the export/import bank; a known vehicle for corporate welfare.

Sanders knocked the bank for “huge subsidies and loans to the largest multinational corporations in the world,” which have included the likes of AT&T, Bechtel and Caterpillar. Even Barack Obama called the bank “little more than a fund for corporate welfare,”.

Hillary seems to be going all in on being a big money big business candidate.

4. I shook my head when Hillary brought up that corporate welfare program in a debate

I doubt Hillary mentioned that Boeing didn't pay a penny in federal income taxes from 2003-2014 while they reported profits of over $30 billion cumulatively. In fact, they somehow actually received tax refunds in some of those years; their effective tax rate for the 12 year period was NEGATIVE 3.3%.

Boeing can't sell their planes with taxpayer subsidized loans to their customers, they can't pay federal income taxes, but they can afford to pay enormous executive salaries and bribe members of both political parties, including Hillary Clinton.

11. She is a liar.

She will always be a liar.

She has zero scruples or morals.

Money is all that motivates the Clinton family.

They are great con artists.
