Appearing at a Boston rally for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley on Friday, Hillary Clinton told the crowd gathered at the Park Plaza Hotel not to listen to anybody who says that “businesses create jobs.”

“Don’t let anybody tell you it’s corporations and businesses create jobs,” Clinton said.

“You know that old theory, ‘trickle-down economics,’” she continued. “That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly.”

“You know, one of the things my husband says when people say ‘Well, what did you bring to Washington,’ he said, ‘Well, I brought arithmetic,’” Clinton said, which elicited loud laughs from the crowd.

Big Lie or Big Stupid ... who can tell?  First these new Progressive wizards of smart have the unbridled intellectual audacity to portend that raising the cost of labor won't reduce demand (Minimum wage hike doesn't mean fewer jobs), that more food stamp recipients are good for the economy (More welfare creates more demand?), and now they proclaim that private capital investment isn't the best source for economic development (Guv can invest your money better than you?).  Thank God the crowd laughed, as laughing is the only commensurate response.  We can only hope they are laughing at and not with.  Maybe you and Bill should have 'brought algebra' to Washington Hillary....
