She did say during the debates those are hard problems we can't fix.

(2,888 posts)4. This should be easy to do so why no answers and links to her proposals?

(28,876 posts)7. Nobody can until she releases the transcripts.
Seriously. Presumably she would not tax the middle class, and if she's also promised Wall Street they're safe with her, then no universal health care.

...only the democratic socialist has to answer those hard questions. Oh yeah, almost forgot...

Provide tax relief for families. Hillary will cut taxes for hard-working families to increase their take-home pay as they face rising costs from child care, health care, and sending their kids to college. She is calling for extending a tax cut of up to $2,500 per student to help deal with college costs as part of her New College Compact, and for cutting taxes for businesses that share profits with their employees.
Unleash small business growth. Hillarys father owned a small businessand she understands that small businesses are the backbone of jobs and growth in America. Shes put forward a small-business agenda to expand access to capital, provide tax relief, cut red tape, and help small businesses bring their goods to new markets.
Create a New College Compact. Hillarys New College Compact will invest $350 billion so that students do not have to borrow to pay tuition at a public college in their state. Her plan will also significantly cut interest rates on student loans and enable an estimated 25 million Americans with student debt to refinance at todays lower rates, saving the typical borrower $2,000 over the life of their loans.
Boost public investment in infrastructure and scientific research. One of the best ways to drive jobs and improve our nations competitiveness is to invest in infrastructure and scientific research. Hillary has called for a national infrastructure bank that would leverage public and private funds to invest in projects across the country. She will call for reform that closes corporate tax loopholes and drives investment here, in the U.S. And she would increase funding for scientific research at agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
Lift up participation in the workforceespecially for women. For too long, issues like equal pay, paid leave, and affordable child care have been put off to the side as "women's issues." Hillary believes they are crucial to our competitiveness and growthand to lifting incomes for working families.
Fair growth
Inequality is a drag on our economy, and to get incomes rising again, we need to renew our countrys basic bargain. With near-record corporate profits and stagnant wages, the deck is stacked against working Americans. If you work hard, you deserve to get ahead and stay ahead.
fair growth 2
Ensure more workers share in near-record corporate profits. Corporate profits are near record highsbut workers have not shared through rising wages. Profit sharing is linked to higher pay, benefits, and productivity. Thats why Hillarys plan creates a 15 percent tax credit for companies that share profits with workers on top of wages and pay increases.
Raising the minimum wage and strengthening overtime rules. Hillary believes we are long overdue in raising the minimum wage. She has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12, and believes that we should go further than the federal minimum through state and local efforts, and workers organizing and bargaining for higher wages, such as the Fight for 15 and recent efforts in Los Angeles and New York to raise their minimum wage to $15. She also supports the Obama administrations expansion of overtime rules to millions more workers.
Reform our tax code so the wealthiest pay their fair share. Hillary supports ending the carried interest loophole, enacting the Buffett Rule that ensures no millionaire pays a lower effective tax rate than their secretary, and closing tax loopholes and expenditures that benefit the wealthiest taxpayers to pay for her plan to make college affordable and refinance student debt.

what she proposes doing. There's much more than tax relief for Middle Class. I really can't read it for you.
