Hillary promises to make everything better

The Wall St Journal offered Hillary a nice big space on the Op Ed page today. She filled the space with text, but it isn't an effective piece of writing. She says the country is going to pot, it's all Bush's fault, but elect me and I'll make a long laundry list of things get better. No details, no explanations of sacrifices that might be required, just a list of things that she will make better, somehow. All the things on the list are good things, we would all like to have them, but with out a discussion of costs or specific tax breaks, federal spending, new laws, ways to make it happen, it's just mindless happy talk.
Given the importance of the platform, the op ed page of the largest circulation newspaper in the country, on the day before Super Tuesday, I expected something better from Hillary.
