Hillary Clinton was in Manhattan Monday delivering a major speech on how she would shape the economy as President, a message to the restive left wing of her party, which cheered her vow to press charges against rogue banks. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.

Hillary Clinton says the shadow of economic crisis is receeding, leaving a new challenge: not just growing the economy, growing it fairly.

"We must drive strong and steady income growth that lifts up families and lifts up our country," she said.

Clinton says new laws and programs have to do the lifting. She'd require paid family leave and universal pre-k within 10 years. She'd hike the federal minimum wage, though doesn't specify how much.

Perhaps most notably, Clinton would stiffen penalties for financial crime, which some say President Barack Obama handled too softly.

"There can be no justification or tolerance for this kind of criminal behavior," she said.

Clinton's speech comes as the Republican field is getting more crowded. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is getting into the race, and Clinton criticized him by name as well as other GOP candidates.

She called Florida Senator Marco Rubio's tax plan a budget-busting giveaway to the super-wealthy.

Even bigger cheers came for her slam of former Florida governor Jeb Bush. He recently said Americans need to work longer hours.

"Let him tell that to the nurse who stands on her feet all day, or the teacher who is in that classroom, or the trucker who drives all night," Clinton said.

Bush later clarified that he means people need more opportunity to work more.

Asked about Clinton's speech, a Republican Party spokeswoman says Clinton will raise taxes. But her attacks are red meat not as much for the general election, but the Democratic primary.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is surging in Iowa and New Hampshire polls, though is well behind Clinton.

Clinton didn't mention Sanders by name, but her strategy may blunt his rise.

"The thing that stood out was that she says she was willing to criminally prosecute the banks," said national Democratic consultant Van Jones. "Anybody in the Elizabeth Warren wing of the party has to take up notice now."

Still, Clinton closed by vowing a presidency where no party is given the monopoly on ways to grow the economy. It's a nod to exhaustion at Washington gridlock and a pitch this political veteran can cut through it.
