An excellent interview with Secretary Clinton, once it gets past the 2016 "Are You Running?" nonsense and turns toward an in-depth discussion on the biggest challenges facing America today. Clinton identifies these as the disappearance of upward mobility, which she defines as our biggest challenge and a national crisis, and she diagnoses the problem as being because of the failures of our current economic system and political system. (Her actual words are that it's a crisis of democracy.)
She touches as well on the need for comprehensive immigration reform, for engaging with grassroots ("down up") rather than just leaders talking to each other, and for America to do a better job both articulating and emulating our values - at home first, but also abroad.
It's good stuff. I haven't seen anything on it yet here, so I figured I'd put it up as a diary!
