Hillary Clinton

I thought of your post today with all the 'noise' about Trump's meltdown while Hillary was out in Colorado doing that weird thing . . . campaigning, talking about Made in America Manufacturers (like Colorado's Knotty Tie Company) and how her vision for growing American employment is positive and doable with right-headed investments in infrastructure, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, universal Internet access (both for kids and budding entrepreneurs at home). And most importantly investments in our own people, be it improved and more affordable healthcare options, child-care, equal-pay-for-equal work, expanded educational opportunities--reigniting apprenticeship training, for instance. These aren't revolutionary ideas. They're actually simple, pragmatic options that we've woefully ignored for too long.

What did strike me as quite unique is the connective nature of Hillary's vision; each idea links to the next, a step up, a step forward. It's a holistic approach to rebalancing things in the country, taking a good hard look at what works and what doesn't (trickle-down economics comes to mind), while supporting and improving the quality of lives in the now and in the future. This is the way we go forward. This is the way we create a cascade of progress that will endure for our kids and grand babies, all our kids and grand babies.

Can't wait to see the program gear up. Despite Trump's chest-beating and vacuous promises, Hillary Clinton and her team are already working on the details, sorting out the particulars.

She'll be ready on Day 1. Exciting!
