For the next three days, we are going to look at what the presidential candidates have to offer in the way of economic plans. The idea, of course, is to give you an idea of what the 
three top contenders offer in terms of trying to save the economy. Today: Hillary Clinton.
Economic plans from Hillary Clinton
The basics:
- Save money by taking away subsidies for oil firms and drug companies. I assume the continued preferential tax treatment given to large, profitable Wall Street firms would also be in question.
- Overhaul credit card regulations to limit sudden rate hikes and high fees.
- Retirement savings plans that include incentives and tax credits for those in the lower and middle economic classes.
- Universal health care. This plan is a private-public effort that requires Americans to get insurance through a private plan or a public plan. The health care plan options now available to members Congress would be available to all Americans. This sounds a great deal like the great health care plan options available in Massachusetts.
What do you think of the economic plans offered by Hillary Clinton?
