Clinton Dismisses Trump ‘Lip Service’ On Pro-Family Economic Policies

Source: Talking Points Memo

Hillary Clinton dismissed Donald Trump's recent pledge to promote economic policies that would benefit working families as “lip service” at a Thursday rally in Warren, Michigan.

Clinton, who has campaigned on a platform of bolstering federal support for new parents and female workers, said that Trump has only recently started paying attention to these issues.

“On Monday, Trump offered his first real ideas on this topic. Because previously, he had dismissed concerns about child care,” she said. “He said it was, quote, not an expensive thing because you just need some blocks and some swings. Now he says he wants to exclude child care payments from taxation.”

Trump made the swings comment at a November town hall, saying more companies should offer in-house child care to employees.
