What Would President Hillary Be For?

takes a look at the prospect of President Hillary in our future, and rates the chances at 50-50.
Senator Clinton is the only Democrat running for president that can afford to ignore the sacraments of
peace and abortion. So she is the only Democratic candidate that can appeal to middle America.

But the question is: what would President Hillary be for? Surely, the Democrats have tested to
destruction the old formula of the rule of the experts and pensions for the people. Tony Blair and
New Labour are busily testing the concept to destruction in Britain: one-size-fits-all education, welfare,
and health care leads to not much of anything except bureaucracy, rationing, targets, schemes, regulators,
and jobs for Labour Party voters.

Could the Hillary Clinton of Hillary Care, of the Children’s Defense Fund, of “reforming”
the government school system of Arkansas ever turn from the cult of the rule of the experts and
help restore an America of self-government? There is a Nixon-Goes-to-China opportunity here, if Senator
Clinton is smart enough to grab it.
