Hillary Clinton’s Latest TV Ad Touches On The Nation’s Wage Gap (VIDEO)

A day after apologizing for using a private email server, Hillary Clinton released a television ad about her plan to raise the incomes of families, which she called the “defining economic issue of our time.”

The 30-second ad, titled “Stretched,” is part of a $2 million ad buy in Iowa and New Hampshire markets, MSNBC reported. The ad is Clinton’s fourth spot.

“Families today are so stretched,” Clinton said in the ad. “We’ve got to get back to making it possible for anymore in America to go as far as their hard work will take them.”

Watch the full spot below:

  1. A day after apologizing for using a private email server,

    So if you post a story about Clinton tomorrow, will you be starting it off with “Two days after apologizing for using a private email server…”

    And then the next day with “Three days after apologizing for using a private email server…”

    And so on?

    Well done Katherine Krueger, have a doggy biscuit.

  2. “We’ve got to get back to making it possible for anymore in America to go as far as their hard work will take them.”

    Huh?

  3. Glad to see a higher energy ad from HRC. But I was distracted by the opulent room she was sitting in. Was not in keeping with the message.

  4. Did anyone else here notice her repeated pronunciation of “workin”? Is droppin’ the “g” a vestige of her time spent in Arkansas, or specifically intended as speakin’ to the regular folks? Honestly, I don’t know if she typically talks like this in informal situations. I know when she is in official capacity, her enunciation is crisp. If this was suggested to her to do, I stand my appraisal of the tone deafness of her campaign advisors. Just please let her be the wonky intellectual she is.

  5. In Michigan:

    When adjusted for inflation, Michigan’s median household income is lower today than in 1969, when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon and Richard Nixon was sworn in as president.

    The decline is staggering: the median Michigan household makes do with the equivalent of $15,000 a year less than the median household in 1969, according to a Bridge analysis of U.S. Census data. That’s an annual loss in buying power in one generation greater than the cost of tuition at Michigan State University or a new bass boat.

    “The fact that there is a loss by any measure, over such a long period, is unprecedented in our history,” said MSU economist Charles Ballard.

    This seismic shift in fortune has far-reaching impact for the state and its residents, from the age of cars and the size of homes Michigan families can afford, to the state’s ability to pay for smooth roads and support top-flight public universities.
