The security process was almost identical to other events I have attended in New Hampshire when the candidate has Secret Service protection. It should be applauded.

Walsh, who has yet to endorse Clinton, will offer his endorsement at the event, according to the Boston Globe. It was like reading about a completely different event with a difference candidate.

“I’m not going to let anybody undermine collective bargaining rights”, she said, arguing that unions would have a partner in the White House with her as president.

Already Clinton has proposed an array of new federal programs, including a $350 billion college affordability plan.

The new federal spending would be paid for by closing corporate loopholes, according to Clinton´s campaign, which did not detail which tax breaks would be targeted.

“The Clinton Foundation have received from huge financial firms, but the private speeches she has delivered to banking executives for eye-popping sums in excess of $250,000 per talk”. “I want our cities to be in the forefront of cities anywhere in the world”.

Clinton also said that she wants all American households to have access to high-speed internet by 2020, and that it’s unacceptable that 35 percent of schools in the USA don’t have fiber optic connections. “Because we have a glass ceiling to demolish”.

Clinton will campaign in Omaha, Neb., on December 16 with the help of Buffett, the Omaha-based investor. When the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America endorsed Clinton earlier this year, they cited her focus on “strategic budgeting for our country’s infrastructure” as a reason they choose to back her.

Clinton aides say her economic initiatives will be the most expensive of her campaign and plan to roll out proposals for new investments in manufacturing and research in the coming weeks.

Caucus night for next year’s election will be March 1 and Clinton is again facing a grass-roots challenger in Vermont Sen.

Yes, she said “illegal” – ticking off progressives, who prefer “undocumented”.

“Investing in infrastructure makes our economy more productive and competitive across the board”, said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
