Yes, actually. Fracking is a reasonable part of a platform for fighting climate change. It absolutely is the pragmatic choice as it allows local production of natural gas with a lesser environmental impact than the coal or oil it replaces.
>she thinks it's best if Wall Street regulates itself
She didn't say that. If you're referring to her speeches, she said that Wall street should be a part of developing regulation since they know the business the best. That's a straight-up no brainer.

Also, other countries can do public funding because the available spots are restricted. Such restrictions on who are allowed a college education are a non-starter in the U.S.
