It’s no accident that Hillary Clinton’s first series of events after announcing her candidacy for president comes on April 14th, “Equal Pay Day.” It’s also fitting that the equal pay debate, for which Clinton has been a key spokesperson, is premised on a complete lie. One would expect nothing less from the woman who, just recently, told blatant falsehoods in a hearing about her misconduct as Secretary of State.

Hillary Clinton is getting closer to making her announcement for the 2016 presidential race.

Never underestimate the power of the tea party grassroots movement.

She hasn’t been in the White House for over a decade, and hasn’t been Secretary of State for more than two years, but that doesn’t stop her from continuing to soak the taxpayers.

The press may finally have found the chink in the seemingly impenetrable armor of Hillary Clinton.

The United States Export-Import Bank was founded in 1934 as yet another one of FDR’s misguided “New Deal” programs. For the past 80 years, the Bank has been an instrument of corporate welfare, handing out taxpayer-backed loans to big corporations and special interest projects, such as green energy.

Whether or not Hillary Clinton intends to throw her hat in the three ring circus that will be the 2016 presidential elections remains to be seen, but she’s already getting in plenty of practice cozying up to well-monied special interest groups. In response to a recent question about the Export-Import Bank, Clinton said the following:

Hillary Clinton wants you to think she’s just an average Joe. Well, actually, a little less than average. She wants you to think she’s downright impoverished. After a notable gaffe when she said that she and Bill were “dead broke” when they left the White House (a bald faced lie), Clinton, instead of doing the sensible thing and walking back her comments, doubled down on her poverty gambit.
