Eight Questions for Hillary Clinton Jan 21 Columbia Journalism Review Todd Gitlin

But do Journalists actually read the CJR?

Eight timely questions. The last three seemed the least obvious and the most interesting:

6. To what extent should the money saved by phasing out American combat operations in Iraq be used to reduce the deficit, and to what extent should it be used for creating jobs, environmentally sensible investments, and social programs?

7. One of your chief economic advisers, Gene Sperling, has written that “there are goals—banning child labor in our factories; preventing racial, religious, and gender discrimination in the workforce—that require direct intervention in the market regardless of their efficiency or economic impact.” Is government support for the organizing of unions among the “direct interventions” you favor?

8. Do you believe that the protection of drug company patents is a responsibility of the federal government?

I wouldn’t mind getting some answers.For the full list: Go to Original
