13005257, She doesn't warn about a "trillion dollar tax hike" anymore

She had to walk that one back.

She wants those retiree/soon-to-retire votes, but she also wants those upper-income professional votes. She is trying to assuage working- and middle-class fears about Social Security while taking upper-middle-class tax increases off the table. But sometimes she implies they are on the table. Her position, as with minimum wage, trade agreements, and many others, seems to evolve continuously.
