Since last March - at a time when the Administration was assuring Americans that the housing problem was “contained” - she has warned about the economic consequences of rising foreclosures and she announced policies to address the problem before it became a crisis. On December 5, 2007, Hillary became the first presidential candidate to say that it was time to consider an economic stimulus plan and on January 11, 2008, she was the first leading Democratic candidate, to offer a fiscal stimulus package, which included $110 billion in measures to jumpstart our economy. In addition, Senator Clinton proposed to temporarily empower state housing financing agencies to help families refinance unworkable mortgages and temporarily increasing the portfolio caps at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and enabling them to purchase larger loans in high-cost areas. Hillary’s plan calls for establishing a national broadband strategy; creating a $50 billion Strategic Energy Fund; doubling the research budgets at the major federal agencies; strengthening education from pre-K to post-graduate study; making the R&D tax credit permanent; and restoring integrity to science by ending the Bush Administration’s war on science. Her American Health Choices Plan will help lower the burden on middle class families and ensure our ongoing economic competitiveness by aggressively cutting healthcare costs and finally covering every single American - no one will be left out. read more
