Hillary Clinton kicked off the day with a rally in Pueblo, Colorado where she spoke to supporters at the state fairgrounds.

She attacked his business practices, including buying Chinese steel saying, “If he wants to make America great again, make America great again with American steel.” Clinton then spoke about a number of platform points including comprehensive immigration reform, investing in the infrastructure and clean energy, and making public colleges tuition free for families making less than $125,000 per year.

Hillary Clinton Discusses Plans to Help Entrepreneurs During Denver Visit

85-2

On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton spoke at a Denver, Colorado tech company where she unveiled plans to assist future entrepreneurs and encourage start-ups. Speaking at Galvanize, Clinton told the crowd, “Starting out can be daunting. There’s a lot, a lot of risk, even if you have a good idea. … It can be a lot harder if you are juggling student loan payments. And that can cut into what you are able to do.” Clinton spoke about her plan to help those out of college start businesses and begin working on their ideas and innovations. Details of her plan can be read on The Briefing, but an outline of the plan is below:

  • Defer federal student loans for up to three years with no interest
  • Offer an option to apply to have up to $17,500 of their student loans forgiven
  • Offer similar incentives to early joiners of a new enterprise
  • Provide access to specialized training and access to credit to grow their business
  • Invest in incubators and accelerators to help young people get their ventures off the ground

A video from Clinton’s speech is below.
