DEPERE, Wis. (Reuters) - U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton released a new "Economic Blueprint" on Monday that touts ways to help working Americans as she seeks to gain an edge on rival Barack Obama, who has moved into the lead in the Democratic contest.

The pamphlet repackages ideas Clinton has already proposed, such as putting a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures of subprime mortgages, removing tax breaks for oil companies and investing the money in clean energy programs, and putting new restrictions on credit card companies, including a cap on interest rates.
