Clinton Criticizes Proposed Fed Overhaul

Hillary Clinton has focused on the nation's economic woes in appearances in Pennsylvania and other states holding primaries in coming weeks, trying to persuade voters that she is better prepared to tackle economic challenges than rival Barack Obama and Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain.

The former first lady pledged as president to offer $100 billion in tax cuts for middle class families to pay for health care, education and other costs. Among other things, she proposed a $3,000 tax credit to help pay for the care of an elderly parent or a disabled child, and said she would expand the Earned Income Tax Credit to make it available to a broader range of low-income workers.
