Hillary Clinton contrasts her economic vision with Donald Trump's
WASHINGTON _ Hillary Clinton branded her self-styled populist rival a fraud whose plans will do nothing to boost the fortunes of struggling workers, delivering an address Thursday in which she laid out her economic plans.
The Democratic presidential nominee's speech in Warren, Mich., came days after Republican nominee Donald Trump had visited Detroit to offer his own economic proposals.
The two speeches highlight the pitched fight for swing voters in the Rust Belt states crucial to winning in November.
Clinton described Trump's economic agenda as "just a more extreme version of the failed theory of trickle-down economics, with his own addition of outlandish Trumpian ideas that even Republicans reject."
She argued that Trump's proposals on taxes, child care and easing government regulations would benefit only corporations and rich people like him.
