*CLINTON SUGGESTS SHE IS A MODERATE*

*Clinton Said That Both The Democratic And Republican Parties Should Be
“Moderate.” *“URSULA BURNS: Interesting. Democrats? SECRETARY CLINTON:
Oh, long, definitely. URSULA BURNS: Republicans? SECRETARY CLINTON:
Unfortunately, at the time, short. URSULA BURNS: Okay. We'll go back to
questions. SECRETARY CLINTON: We need two parties. URSULA BURNS: Yeah, we
do need two parties. SECRETARY CLINTON: Two sensible, moderate, pragmatic
parties.” [Hillary Clinton Remarks, Remarks at Xerox, 3/18/14]

*Clinton: “Simpson-Bowles… Put Forth The Right Framework. Namely, We Have
To Restrain Spending, We Have To Have Adequate Revenues, And We Have To
Incentivize Growth. It's A Three-Part Formula… And They Reached An
Agreement. But What Is Very Hard To Do Is To Then Take That Agreement If
You Don't Believe That You're Going To Be Able To Move The Other Side.”*
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, this may be borne more out of hope than
experience in the last few years. But Simpson-Bowles -- and I know you
heard from Erskine earlier today -- put forth the right framework. Namely,
we have to restrain spending, we have to have adequate revenues, and we
have to incentivize growth. It's a three-part formula. The specifics can
be negotiated depending upon whether we're acting in good faith or not. And
what Senator Simpson and Erskine did was to bring Republicans and Democrats
alike to the table, and you had the full range of ideological views from I
think Tom Coburn to Dick Durbin. And they reached an agreement. But what
is very hard to do is to then take that agreement if you don't believe that
you're going to be able to move the other side. And where we are now is in
this gridlocked dysfunction. So you've got Democrats saying that, you know,
you have to have more revenues; that's the sine qua non of any kind of
agreement. You have Republicans saying no, no, no on revenues; you have to
cut much more deeply into spending. Well, looks what's happened. We are
slowly returning to growth. It's not as much or as fast as many of us
would like to see, but, you know, we're certainly better off than our
European friends, and we're beginning to, I believe, kind of come out of
the long aftermath of the '08 crisis. [Clinton Speech For Morgan Stanley,
4/18/13]

*Clinton: “The Simpson-Bowles Framework And The Big Elements Of It Were
Right… You Have To Restrain Spending, You Have To Have Adequate Revenues,
And You Have To Have Growth.”* CLINTON: So, you know, the Simpson-Bowles
framework and the big elements of it were right. The specifics can be
negotiated and argued over. But you got to do all three. You have to
restrain spending, you have to have adequate revenues, and you have to have
growth. And I think we are smart enough to figure out how to do that.

*CLINTON IS AWARE OF SECURITY CONCERNS AROUND BLACKBERRIES*

*Clinton: “At The State Department We Were Attacked Every Hour, More Than
Once An Hour By Incoming Efforts To Penetrate Everything We Had. And That
Was True Across The U.S. Government.”* CLINTON: But, at the State
Department we were attacked every hour, more than once an hour by incoming
efforts to penetrate everything we had. And that was true across the U.S.
government. And we knew it was going on when I would go to China, or I
would go to Russia, we would leave all of our electronic equipment on the
plane, with the batteries out, because this is a new frontier. And they're
trying to find out not just about what we do in our government. They're
trying to find out about what a lot of companies do and they were going
after the personal emails of people who worked in the State Department. So
it's not like the only government in the world that is doing anything is
the United States. But, the United States compared to a number of our
competitors is the only government in the world with any kind of
safeguards, any kind of checks and balances. They may in many respects
need to be strengthened and people need to be reassured, and they need to
have their protections embodied in law. But, I think turning over a lot of
that material intentionally or unintentionally, because of the way it can
be drained, gave all kinds of information not only to big countries, but to
networks and terrorist groups, and the like. So I have a hard time thinking
that somebody who is a champion of privacy and liberty has taken refuge in
Russia under Putin's authority. And then he calls into a Putin talk show
and says, President Putin, do you spy on people? And President Putin says,
well, from one intelligence professional to another, of course not. Oh,
thank you so much. I mean, really, I don't know. I have a hard time
following it. [Clinton Speech At UConn, 4/23/14]

*Hillary Clinton: “When I Got To The State Department, It Was Still Against
The Rules To Let Most -- Or Let All Foreign Service Officers Have Access To
A Blackberry.” *“I mean, let's face it, our government is woefully,
woefully behind in all of its policies that affect the use of technology.
When I got to the State Department, it was still against the rules to let
most -- or let all Foreign Service Officers have access to a Blackberry.
You couldn't have desktop computers when Colin Powell was there.
Everything that you are taking advantage of, inventing and using, is still
a generation or two behind when it comes to our government.” [Hillary
Clinton Remarks at Nexenta, 8/28/14]

*Hillary Clinton: “We Couldn't Take Our Computers, We Couldn't Take Our
Personal Devices” Off The Plane In China And Russia. *“I mean, probably the
most frustrating part of this whole debate are countries acting like we're
the only people in the world trying to figure out what's going on. I mean,
every time I went to countries like China or Russia, I mean, we couldn't
take our computers, we couldn't take our personal devices, we couldn't take
anything off the plane because they're so good, they would penetrate them
in a minute, less, a nanosecond. So we would take the batteries out, we'd
leave them on the plane.” [Hillary Clinton Remarks at Nexenta, 8/28/14]

*Clinton Said When She Got To State, Employees “Were Not Mostly Permitted
To Have Handheld Devices.”* “You know, when Colin Powell showed up as
Secretary of State in 2001, most State Department employees still didn't
even have computers on their desks. When I got there they were not mostly
permitted to have handheld devices. I mean, so you're thinking how do we
operate in this new environment dominated by technology, globalizing
forces? We have to change, and I can't expect people to change if I don't
try to model it and lead it.” [Clinton Speech For General Electric’s Global
Leadership Meeting – Boca Raton, FL, 1/6/14]

*Hillary Clinton Said You Know You Can’t Bring Your Phone And Computer When
Traveling To China And Russia And She Had To Take Her Batteries Out And Put
them In A Special Box. *“And anybody who has ever traveled in other
countries, some of which shall remain nameless, except for Russia and
China, you know that you can’t bring your phones and your computers. And
if you do, good luck. I mean, we would not only take the batteries out, we
would leave the batteries and the devices on the plane in special boxes.
Now, we didn’t do that because we thought it would be fun to tell somebody
about. We did it because we knew that we were all targets and that we
would be totally vulnerable. So it’s not only what others do to us and what
we do to them and how many people are involved in it. It’s what’s the
purpose of it, what is being collected, and how can it be used. And there
are clearly people in this room who know a lot about this, and some of you
could be very useful contributors to that conversation because you’re
sophisticated enough to know that it’s not just, do it, don’t do it. We
have to have a way of doing it, and then we have to have a way of analyzing
it, and then we have to have a way of sharing it.” [Goldman Sachs Builders
And Innovators Summit, 10/29/13]

*Hillary Clinton Lamented How Far Behind The State Department Was In
Technology, Saying “People Were Not Even Allowed To Use Mobile Devices
Because Of Security Issues.” *“Personally, having, you know, lived and
worked in the White House, having been a senator, having been Secretary of
State, there has traditionally been a great pool of very talented,
hard-working people. And just as I was saying about the credit market, our
personnel policies haven’t kept up with the changes necessary in
government. We have a lot of difficulties in getting—when I got to the
State Department, we were so far behind in technology, it was
embarrassing. And, you know, people were not even allowed to use mobile
devices because of security issues and cost issues, and we really had to
try to push into the last part of the 20th Century in order to get people
functioning in 2009 and ‘10.” [Goldman Sachs Builders And Innovators
Summit, 10/29/13]

*CLINTON REMARKS ARE PRO KEYSTONE AND PRO TRADE*

*Clinton: “So I Think That Keystone Is A Contentious Issue, And Of Course
It Is Important On Both Sides Of The Border For Different And Sometimes
Opposing Reasons…” *“So I think that Keystone is a contentious issue, and
of course it is important on both sides of the border for different and
sometimes opposing reasons, but that is not our relationship. And I think
our relationship will get deeper and stronger and put us in a position to
really be global leaders in energy and climate change if we worked more
closely together. And that's what I would like to see us do.” [Remarks at
tinePublic, 6/18/14]

*Hillary Clinton Said Her Dream Is A Hemispheric Common Market, With Open
Trade And Open Markets. *“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with
open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as
green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for
every person in the hemisphere.” [05162013 Remarks to Banco Itau.doc, p.
28]

*Hillary Clinton Said We Have To Have A Concerted Plan To Increase Trade;
We Have To Resist Protectionism And Other Kinds Of Barriers To Trade.
*“Secondly,
I think we have to have a concerted plan to increase trade already under
the current circumstances, you know, that Inter-American Development Bank
figure is pretty surprising. There is so much more we can do, there is a
lot of low hanging fruit but businesses on both sides have to make it a
priority and it's not for governments to do but governments can either
make it easy or make it hard and we have to resist, protectionism, other
kinds of barriers to market access and to trade and I would like to see
this get much more attention and be not just a policy for a year under
president X or president Y but a consistent one.” [05162013 Remarks to
Banco Itau.doc, p. 32]

*CLINTON IS MORE FAVORABLE TO CANADIAN HEALTH CARE AND SINGLE PAYER*

*Clinton Said Single-Payer Health Care Systems “Can Get Costs Down,” And
“Is As Good Or Better On Primary Care,” But “They Do Impose Things Like
Waiting Times.” *“If you look at countries that are comparable, like
Switzerland or Germany, for example, they have mixed systems. They don't
have just a single-payer system, but they have very clear controls over
budgeting and accountability. If you look at the single-payer systems,
like Scandinavia, Canada, and elsewhere, they can get costs down because,
you know, although their care, according to statistics, overall is as good
or better on primary care, in particular, they do impose things like
waiting times, you know. It takes longer to get like a hip replacement
than it might take here.” [Hillary Clinton remarks to ECGR Grand Rapids,
6/17/13]
