What Hillary’s Economic Plans Say About Her Values

Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Deuteronomy 15:7 “If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother.”

Last week Hillary Clinton laid out her plans for the economy and it did not disappoint. If budgets and economic plans are moral documents, then it is clear that Hillary is indeed bringing social justice to the race, and will bring with her a great plan to help many people who need it. Vice President Joe Biden has a saying: “Don’t tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what you value.” At Hillary Clinton’s economic speech last week, she said, “And my mission in the White House will be to make our economy work for everyone, not just those at the top…I believe every American willing to work hard should be able to find a job that provides dignity, pride, and decent pay that can support a family. So starting on Day One, we will work with both parties to pass the biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War II. We’ve got to create more good jobs that are going to help more people.” Read the full transcript of Hillary’s speech here.
