On Monday, Hillary Clinton was in Detroit, Michigan where she addressed a gathering of members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Clinton spoke about a number of her platform points including her support of raising the federal minimum wage, the importance of creating new jobs to continue the country’s economic growth, and her proposal to pass comprehensive immigration reform. She also spoke about the importance of labor unions and how she supports their right to collectively bargain for better wages and benefits.
During her speech, Clinton increased her criticism of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump. Throughout her speech, she attacked a number of his plans and his rhetoric. But she questioned Trump’s business record when she suggested that his plans will weaken America’s economy just like his business plans have bankrupted a number of his business holdings. Clinton said, “Trump economics is a recipe for lower wages, fewer jobs, more debt. He could bankrupt America like he’s bankrupted his companies.” She went on to say, “I mean ask yourself, how could anybody lose money running a casino, really?” A full video from her speech is below.
