As she's said on every occasion, it's about focusing on expanding opportunity for working families: expand the child tax credit, provide a tax credit for the first year of a child's life, enact a variety of proposed policies to incentivize building and rehabbing affordable housing, provide a tax credit to first-time home buyers, make health care and prescription medicines more affordable, and more.

It's a lot to get across in one sentence, agreed. But the focus is clear, sincere, and do-able.

If everything's a priority, nothing is. If you've got a lot to get across in one sentence (child tax policy; housing; health care/drug policy; and more!), you're not really telling people what your priority is.

There's probably scores of programs and issues across the breadth of the federal government that affect the "opportunity of working families" - a term so broad it could really encompass almost any household that at least one member with a job, which means the issues that "expand opportunity" for them could literally be anything. What's her focus?

I don't know what the answer is. I don't know what her "this has to be in the bill" issue is. If it's "some thing that increases opportunities for working families," that could literally almost be anything that's in the standard issue set for Democrats - it could be a massive public housing promotion, an effort to drive down health care costs, passing labor market and union reforms, tax reforms to benefit people with kids, etc.

Again, I go back to Obama - his top priority was trying to get to universal health insurance. His signature issue was a health insurance bill, and that's what got passed. That was his priority. What's hers?
