Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday laid out an ambitious agenda for the first 100 days of her presidency, if elected, that includes signing legislation that President Bush vetoed -- beginning with measures to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program and the use of embryonic stem cells for research -- seeking a moratorium on home foreclosures and beginning the process of withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.
Speaking at an American Society of Newspaper Editors luncheon in Washington, she vowed to restore "fiscal sanity" by cutting taxes for middle-class families by $100 billion a year and ending tax breaks for oil companies, drug companies, insurance companies and Wall Street firms, saving $55 billion annually.
She also said she would press Canada and Mexico to renegotiate parts of NAFTA.
