During a campaigning speech earlier this week, Hilary Clinton announced that women in America are owed money because of the prevalent pay-gap in the country. She said, “Ask yourself why ... we still act as if it's 1955… The fact that women still get paid less than men for the same work costs them and their families thousands of dollars every year.”

 

Talking about all that women could do with their fair share of money, she added, “Imagine what a working mom could do with the money she is owed. That extra money, she could use it for rent or even buy a better home for her kids and herself. Those groceries she could buy. That car payment she could make.”

 

Clinton was campaigning for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who will be standing for re-elections in New York. At hotel Ballroom in Manhattan, Clinton poking fun at herself after losing 2008 Presidential elections, said, “We can't take anything for granted in an election.”

Hillary Clinton represented New York in the US Senate from 2001 through 2009. According to a report by Business Insider, even though Cuomo does not need Clinton’s support to win, the two have close ties as Cuomo once served in former President Bill Clinton’s administration.
