Senator Clinton say\'s she has the experience to address the nation\'s myriad fiscal challenges while also promising different groups $773 Billion in new spending if elected President.

How does someone spend more dollars, while also \"fixing\" Big Oil, Iraq, Social Security, etc. and help the middle class? I see my taxes only going up.

KNOXVILLE, Iowa - The economy needs help and fast, Hillary Rodham Clinton declared Monday, claiming the experience for the job and saying the nation can\'t afford to break in a newcomer.
In speech that kicked off a two day campaign swing through Iowa, the New York senator painted a bleak picture of a U.S. economy battered by home foreclosures, rising oil prices and lack of good jobs for middle class workers.
The former first lady compared the situation to 1992, when her husband ran against the first George Bush.
\"There seems to be a pattern here. It takes a Clinton to clean up after a Bush,\" she said to applause.
Without mentioning names, she suggested rival Barack Obama -- less than three years into his first term in the Senate -- and other candidates lack the experience necessary to address the nation\'s myriad fiscal challenges.
\"There is one job we can\'t afford on-the-job training for -- our next president. That could be the costliest job training in history,\" Clinton said. \"Every day spent learning the ropes is another day of rising costs, mounting deficits and growing anxiety for our families. And they cannot afford to keep waiting.\"
