Hillary Rodham Clinton does have an economic program. It’s called: “Say and promise anything that will get me elected.”

With stock markets worldwide in panic and the housing and credit sector in the U.S. in meltdown, it is clear that America’s staggering economic challenges are now a key issue in the 2008 presidential campaign. For that reason alone Hillary Clinton is now pontificating on her so-called stimulus plans, hinting of her vast economic skills and knowledge.

How real is this Clintonian spin? As real as Bill Clinton saying he did “not have sex with that woman.” No matter how creative are Hillary Clinton’s army of PR gurus and spin-doctors, there is no record in her background that suggests a high level of ability in the field of economics. This is reflected in both her educational and professional background. Knowing how to get an $8 million contract for a book of “memoirs” actually written by three ghost writers may be evidence of individual entrepreneurship, but hardly qualifies as relevant to rescuing the American economy from a long-predicted recession that may be deeper and longer than our worst imaginations can at present foresee.

So, Hillary Clinton will now seize upon the nation’s economic distress as another campaign issue to ease her way back into the White House. However, in the final analysis, all Hillary Clinton has to offer on the economy is self-serving propaganda, not practical solutions. For on the day that the Fed cut its interest rate by 75 basis points, the official Hillary Clinton For President website had as its lead item another silly Clintonian contest, offering a chance to “win” a place at Hillary’s next debate to new contributors. Why let reality spoil the fun?
