I propose before you bash this woman, at least give 2 policies of hers that you do not like.
1. She is a huge proponent of the notion that the federal government can levy high taxes and build an infrastructure that will return larger social welfare gains than the private sector would otherwise. This is one of the reasons we are broken and on the verge of assimilation into the Council On Foreign Relations Borg. We have a trillion-and-a-half deficit and she scolded those who wanted to legislate lower taxes during her Senatorial campaign.
2. She is for a high minimum wage. This creates unemployment for many who would otherwise voluntarily select it, and lowers GDP output by raising costs to producers who maximize profits by hiring up to the point where marginal revenue product equals the wage rate (i.e. they produce less).
2a. #2 above implies she is either completely uneducated on the basic principles of economics (i.e. Econ 1A-1B) or she is a proponent of reducing the overall social welfare by force and to the benefit of a select few. A very disturbing political philosophy to many.
3. She is a pathological liar on the scale of Paul Ryan.
