Hillary Clinton's shapeshifting was on full display in the 2016 Deomcratic primaries. At first she posed as an experienced diplomat, national security expert, and statesman.<ref>See for example Hillary's speech on "The Crisis of Meaning" delivered in Austin Texas, 6 April 1993. http://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/23/magazine/saint-hillary.html?pagewanted=all </ref> So she appealed to the center by saying economists claimed Bernie Sanders promises were crazy and would bankrupt America.<ref>http://fortune.com/2016/02/17/bernie-sanders-open-letter/</ref> But that didn't gain any traction either. After the nomination she was matching or trying to outdo Sanders' pie-in-the-sky rhetoric by promising hundreds of billions for student aid to prepare kids for jobs that don't exist.{{efn|Public Service Ads at one time ran saying, "Get a good job, get a good education". Then came an explosion of government handouts in the form of student loans. Then, in the bait and switch arrangement, students graduated only to find their jobs shipped overseas as the result of government negotiated trade agreements or the US economy's inability to create new jobs bankrupted by government mandated entitlement programs. Recent graduates found themselves [[serf]]s of the [[IRS]] with no way to repay the debt delivering pizzas.<ref>http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2016/01/student_loan_crisis_at_its_ugliest_i_graduated_and_found_out_i_owe_200_000.html</ref> What would be the way to reform the crisis? Increase capital formation to create new jobs? Certainly not. As Bernie Sanders proposed, and Hillary adopted, increase public treasury debt so that all children can go to college to graduate and find no jobs.
The Clinton dominated [[Democratic National Committee]] showed how un-inclusive it is when it rejected out of hand 42 of 45 Sanders nominees for the 75 member convention rules, platform, and credentials committees. Of the 75 members on the 3 committees (25 each), 72 where staffed with Clinton cronies, and 3 with Sanders supporters, under the party's alleged "proportional allocation" methods based upon primary and caucus results.<ref>http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/bernie-sanders-dnc-rules-committee-222978#ixzz48eixbtTR</ref>
