Fiorina: GOP Hasn’t Done Much Better than Dems as Gov’t Continues to Get Bigger

BRZEZINSKI: “So often people have spared with you, about your experience in the business world. I think you and I have had our moments but let me ask it a different way. How would your experience apply to how you would attack this economy specifically as it pertains to wages? What would your strategies be?”
FIORINA: “First of course, it helps if you're going to get the economy going and growing again to actually understand how it works and a lot of politicians don't with all due respect. Second, it helps to have actually saved jobs, created jobs and understand which policies destroy jobs. Let's be honest, the progressive policies of this administration have made income inequality worse, not better. The policies of this administration have harmed every group they claim to help. Women, African-Americans, people who are grinding it out in the low or middle-class. The truth is also this; crony capitalism is alive and well and flourishes under big, powerful government. Because the bigger government gets: the more powerful and complicated [indecipherable], the truth is also is that only the big, the powerful and the wealthy and well connected can handle it and that small and powerless get crushed. Specifically, what's happening, zero interest rate policies are harming small business owners and capitol is flowing away from community banks and too large Wall Street Banks. That matters because we are now crushing the engine of job creation which has always been and continues to be small and new and family owned businesses, we're destroying more of those than we're creating. It helps to understand all that. I think liberal policies have failed. But frankly under Republican politicians we haven't made it much better because government continues to get bigger and more complicated under those Republicans and Democrats.”
