In 2014 This was her view on the topic.
Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Think Paid Family Leave Is Possible—Yet
http://www.theatlantic.com/...
In 2015 Hillary said this
She continues, “It’s outrageous that America is the only country in the developed world that doesn’t guarantee paid leave.”
So in one year, Hillary did a 180 huh? What changed in that year?
Now let me ask you, out of all the people running for president who is the one you trust to really fight for paid leave, and not just provide talking points? We aren't just talking about time off for child birth mind you, but for worker increased worker benefits across the board.
Has Clinton come out against the TPP? If not, why not? It seems to me the TPP has one major purpose. It has been created in order to gift corporation rights, privileges, legal protections, and enough incentives to bribe multinationals to choose America over China.
The only way corporations are going to choose the US over China is to strip American workers of rights, wages, privileges and benefits. In order to make the US competitive against China our living standards will have to be brought down to a basic subsistence level. Environmental protections will be rolled back, consumer legal recourse against corporations will have to be eliminated.
Clinton remaining silent on the TPP tells you all you need to know.
Only after Clinton was savagely eviscerated for her pathetic answer to the question of paid leave, did she triangulate a better answer.
We must remember she answered this in 2014 not in 1994 there are no excuses for her weak sauce. -NONE-
This tells me once in office she will pull an Obama.
We will hear something like this.
I'd love to raise the minimum wage, and provide benefits, but those damn Cons won't let me. Sorry. Now lets give corporations tax breaks.
Clinton shouldn't have answered the question that way. She should have shown anger and passion at the sorry state of affairs that working women must endure in corporate America.

Personally, i believe Hillary is a corporation masquerading as a human, but that is a topic for another diary.
