Clinton attacks Trump economic proposal

At a rally in St. Petersburg, Florida, Clinton said the plans Trump outlined earlier in Detroit would push the country back into recession, warning that his plans benefit the rich and do little to create jobs or boost the economy.

Clinton countered with her own economic proposals, saying she wants to invest in public works projects and more educational opportunities and will tax top earners to pay for her plans.

At a rally later in the day in Kissimmee, Florida, Clinton continued her criticism, saying that Trump "hasn't offered any plans on infrastructure besides building a wall and having Mexico pay for it."

The Republican-controlled Congress left Washington in mid-July for a seven-week recess without approving any of the $1.9 billion Obama requested in February to develop a vaccine and control the mosquitoes that carry the virus.
