[WIKILEAKS] Hillary Economic Recovery Needs More Food Stamps and Other Freebies

In one of her speeches to wealthy bankers who were paying dearly for access to Clinton’s favors, what do you suppose Hillary told those bankers would bring wealth and prosperity to the country?  Food stamps.  Yep.  Government freebies are the secret to success.

From The Daily Caller:

More than 43 million Americans currently receive SNAP benefits, and the government will pay about $45 billion in benefits this year, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

Food stamps enrollment spiked in 2012 with nearly 48 million people enrolled in the program, but enrollment has slowly declined since. After the 2008 recession, President Barack Obama issued waivers to the work requirement, which allowed able-bodied adults without children to receive benefits without proving they were looking for a job.

Dismissing the fact that “there’s always the instance where they find one guy somewhere who misused food stamps,” Clinton said the food stamps program is not just good for economic growth, but is also the compassionate thing to do

Clinton said:

“We need to get back to Henry Ford paying his workers a high wage because he wanted people to buy his cars.”

That’s an oversimplification as to why Henry Ford was able to double the pay of his workers to five dollars a day.  It neglects the fact that the assembly line made the time needed to build an automobile from 12 hours to two hours and a half.  That’s a savings of almost 80%.  Although Ford often said he raised wages to make it possible for his workers to buy cars, it was really for a much more important reason and one that guides pay levels even unto today.  To retain valuable employees.  On an assembly line the workers quality is vital.
