Brent Budowsky: Economy Should Be Priority No. 1 If Hillary Runs

Hillary Clinton should start pushing job growth and a stronger economy if she's planning on running for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2016, says Brent Budowsky, a  columnist for The Hill.

"What I’m suggesting that Hillary Clinton do is among other things champion full employment. Talk about jobs at fair wages for all Americans," Budowsky said Monday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

"Make the economy the number one issue, make a growing economy her hallmark and to make the idea of both fair wages and jobs for everybody, something that's back on the front pages.

"We used to talk about full employment a lot and we haven't been talking about that in a long time. So for her, that is an issue that mobilizes Democrats, mobilizes liberals, mobilizes women, blacks and Hispanics, but even more important, it works with white men and it works in red states as well as blue states."
