Hillary: Economy Could Collapse

After spending Saturday night partying with the rich and famous at Florida's high society event of the season, presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton warned Sunday that the U.S. economy would collapse unless Americans learned to make economic sacrifices.

"I think the economy is standing on a trap door, and I don't know that we necessarily hold the levers," she told an audience at West Palm Beach's Kravis Center.

In quotes picked up by the Bradenton Herald, she complained, "The history of America is ... to make sacrifices today for a better tomorrow. The progress that then occurred moved everyone forward."
Clinton delivered her dire economic warning on the heels of attending Donald Trump's lavish Palm Beach wedding to Melania Knauss, where she rubbed shoulders with the upper crust in the ballroom of Trump's Mara Lago mansion, modeled after the Versailles Palace ballroom.

But an afternoon spent reveling with the likes of Katie Couric, Star Jones, Barbara Walters and Denise Rich didn't dull Mrs. Clinton's concerns about Bush administration profligacy.

"I don't see that thoughtful, visionary direction that got us where we are today," the former first lady complained.

After blasting the president for the exploding national debt, the top Democrat boasted that his predecessor - her husband - "did it just right."

"The deficit reduction act didn't get one single Republican vote. He took on the gun lobby with the Brady bill. He took on health care," she declared.
