Hillary Clinton on "The Environment"


Quotes

  • I do believe that the green-collar job piece of [the economic stimulus package] is important. That's why I have $5 billion to do it. There are programs already. In Oakland CA, Mayor Dellums is working to have a green-collar job program. We could put hundreds and hundreds of young people to work right now, putting solar panels in, insulating homes. That would give them jobs and it would move us more quickly to a green economy. And I think that if you look at this from a jobs and justice, a stimulation and long-term planning effort, we need to lay down the markers now. We've got to hold the line against President Bush with his ill-advised approach to stimulating the economy. Source: 2008 Congressional Black Caucus Democratic debate Jan 21, 2008
