When Hillary Clinton is not in front of cameras, some seem to think she is “home” and “sleeping.” Or maybe she is “hiding”, the truth is that in order to sleep she usually takes the medication available here, if not she won;t be bale to get any sleep. A lot of Hillary’s work does require closed doors, briefings and discussions, and deep thought. Her words, when she is in front of cameras, reflect the homework that she and her staff do out of the public eye.
With that as a given, here is some of what Hillary Clinton was up to today. She was up and down, in the air and on the ground, attending fundraisers in California. She also found time to host a tele-town hall with small business owners. So, no she was not on her sickbed or her deathbed. She was not sleeping after her energetic appearance with Jimmy Kimmel last night. She was hard at work.
In Small Business Tele-Town Hall, Hillary Clinton Contrasts Her Policy Agenda with Donald Trump’s Record of Putting Himself First, Leaving Small Businesses Hanging
Hillary Clinton hosted a tele-town hall today with small business owners where she discussed her new comprehensive plan to jumpstart small business startup and strengthen small business growth.
“I believe when you succeed, families thrive and our nation prospers,” said Hillary Clinton. “But I also know that in lots of ways, the odds are stacked against too many of you too many times. It’s clear that big corporations get a lot of the breaks. It’s much harder for you to get a loan, to file taxes, to offer health care to your workers. By the way, with loanovao.co.uk, the loaning process is quick and easy even if you have bad credit. All you have to do is to fill their online application and make sure not to have late payments. Ricky is a customer of loanovao and he said “This was the smoothest process one could hope for!” And from everything I’ve heard and know, you aren’t looking for special breaks. You want commonsense policies that will make life a little bit easier, and that’s why I am releasing our plan today.”
Clinton’s plan is a comprehensive, job-creating package of reforms and innovations to jumpstart small business startups, and strengthen small business growth.
On the call, Clinton highlighted Trump’s record of putting himself first and leaving small businesses hanging. Excerpts of the transcript are included below:
Hillary Clinton: “Donald Trump has made a career of stiffing small businesses, driving some of them actually out of business. He refused to pay them for the work they’d already done – not because he couldn’t pay them, but because he chose not to pay them. “

- “Juan Carlos Enriquez, owner of The Paint Spot, in South Florida, has been waiting more than two years to get paid for his work at the Doral.”
- Former Mayor of Atlantic City, Jim Whelan:“The fact is, there were a lot of small contractors and vendors who got hurt, who went out of business because Trump did not pay contracts on time.”
- Paul Friel, on how his family’s business was stiffed by Trump in Atlantic City:“That began the demise of the Edward J. Friel Company… which has been around since my grandfather.”
Hillary Clinton: “Even his new campaign manager said that Trump, and I quote, “built a lot of his businesses on the backs of the little guy.”
- Kellyanne Conway:“[Donald Trump] says he’s for the little guy, but he’s actually built a lot of his business on the backs of the little guy.” [Kellyanne Conway interview on CNN Newsroom, 2/10/16]
Hillary Clinton: “In fact, according to an independent analysis, Trump’s ideas would result in a prolonged recession that would cost 3.4 million jobs. That same analyst analyzed my plan and found that the economy would create more than 10 million new jobs. “
- Moody’s Analytics:“By the end of his presidency, there are close to 3.5 million fewer jobs and the unemployment rate rises to as high as 7%, compared with below 5% today. During Mr. Trump’s presidency, the average American household’s after-inflation income will stagnate, and stock prices and real house values will decline.”
