San Francisco rolls out the red carpet for the Clintons
Headlining an appearance with other Democratic women senators on behalf of Sen. Barbara Boxer, who is up for re-election this year, Hillary Clinton told several hundred supporters — some of whom had ponied up as much as $10,000 to attend — to expect to lose some of the tax cuts passed by President Bush if Democrats win the White House and control of Congress.“Many of you are well enough off that … the tax cuts may have helped you,” Sen. Clinton said. “We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.“
Amazing.

We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”
First off, I believe America is already “on track” to do well. While we could certainly improve some things, it hardly seems right to talk about “off track.”
Secondly, how does increasing federal spending help the common good, other than hiring more federal employees, thus lowering unemployment rates?
