Former President Bill Clinton campaigned for Attorney General Jack Conway in Lexington on Monday, delivering a hard-nosed repudiation of Republican Rand Paul’s “radical ideas” to cut government spending.
Clinton touted Conway’s proposals for reducing the debt and creating jobs, while blistering Paul and Republicans for wanting to repeal programs such as loans for college students and new controls on big financial institutions — even as they push tax cuts for the rich.
“We have a practical, progressive, common-sense moderate who has actually done things and actually has a plan, running against a man with radical ideas and no record to back it up, no evidence that anything works that they’re advocating, who has embraced an agenda that will add a trillion dollars to the debt, not reduce the deficit and not create jobs, but let us go back to what got us in trouble in the first place,” Clinton said.
