Someone might have to sit down with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and have the conversation with her — the one about where jobs come from.

At a recent political event in Massachusetts — a state represented by the populist liberal and potential 2016 Democratic presidential rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren — the former first lady made a puzzling utterance about how the economy works. “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” she said. “You know, that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried. That has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly.”
