Lol.... She just gave the RNC their first ad for 2016

[IceSpear]

Yeah, it'll have as much effect as "you didn't build that". Remember when the GOP staged their entire convention around that flop of an attack? That was adorable.

[New_Conservative]

She seems nervous about a possible challenge from the left (Elizabeth Warren)

[eric82oslo]

Clearly spelling mistakes don't create jobs either.

F U ridiculous MORON forum!!

F U!

What's wrong with "you guys"

[Princess Nyan Cat]

I'm not surprised Hillary would say something stupid. I AM surprised she'd say something THIS stupid.

This is obviously way worse than "you didn't build that". Thankfully for her, she said it two years out, so it won't have much effect.

How is the truth stupid?

[ElectionsGuy]

She needs to take an economics course.

[Ljube]

It's the economy, stupid!

[tpfkaw]

Well, duh. Jobs are actually created by savvy investments in cattle futures.

How? It's the exact same thing. An out of context quote "proving" that they hate business and capitalism or whatever. I still remember all the Republicans cheering that "you didn't build that" sealed Romney's victory as Obama revealed his anti-business communist roots.

I'm not sure it will have less effect though, since you can't go below zero.

"You didn't build that", although awkward is true.
"Businesses don't create jobs" is plain wrong.

Well, the company she served on the board of directors has certainly led to a net loss of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American jobs.

Because the millions of people working for WalMart, McDonald's, UPS, IBM, Target, Home Depot, General Motors, Hewlett-Packard, Kroger, General Electric, Boeing, Yum!, CitiGroup, AT&T, PepsiCo, Wells Fargo, Wallgreens, Nike, Bank of America, Google, Berkshire Hathaway, Nestle, Ford, Dell, ExxonMobil, Cargill, Meijer, Northrop Grumman, Microsoft, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Chevron, Apple, Publix, General Dynamics, Sprint, Ernst & Young, Aramark, Hilton, Transamerica, ADM, Verizon, CostCo, FedEx, Humana, Lockheed Martin, Micron, and so on are not government employees.

Even if this quote's a little silly, I wholeheartedly approve of the populist direction HRC's going in. Considering what comes out of the mouth of republican politicians these days I couldn't care less about missteps like this.

She's absolutely right. Consumer demand creates jobs which is not directly in businesses control.

Good point, King! Yet another reason to jump on the Hillary Clinton bandwagon!

[Pandaguineapig]

And how much did she receive from goldman sachs? This woman is such a fraud

[Ljube]

That’s not true. Before there's demand, there's supply. Because, there can't be any demand for a thing that doesn't exist.

it's cyclical... without demand for that product, the jobs don't exist.

Well, it wouldn't be stupid if it were, like, the truth, now would it?

Actually, precisely the opposite. How much demand was there for iPhones, before Apple invented them? (Or, for that matter, how did the fact that iPhones were being supplied affect demand for Blackberries?)

Introducing a supply of a good or service reveals consumer preferences and spontaneously creates an efficient market in that product. As a corollary, artificially restricting the supply of a good or service conceals consumer preferences and transfers demand to less-preferred substitutes. For example, the East German government created artificially high demand for its government-produced "Trabants" by artificially restricting the supply of all other automobiles. When those restrictions were removed, demand for Trabants instantly fell to its market level of zero, except as a novelty item.

There may have been, hypothetically, a high latent level of demand for iPhones in the year 1997, or for VW Golfs in East Germany. But that hypothetical demand could not possibly have created supply, because it was not possible to supply the hypothetically-preferred items. Price signals are revealed by supplying a product or service; the fact that there might be hypothetical demand for a product or service tells us nothing about prices.

A ton. The demand for cellphones was huge before the iPhone, which it supplanted, and landline phones had huge demand prior. A nice landline phone used to be a Christmas gift back in the old days.  The iPhone was created to built on consumer demand for phones that were cooler and more technologically advanced than the last.

I'm not going to bother reading the rest of your post because it derailed already.
