More quotes by Charles Schumer
Donald Trump, when he gives his speeches, talks like a populist. And he talks to middle class and working America and poor people. But when he governs, at least in his first 40 days, he governs like a hard-right guy.
Charles Schumer
When I started to get involved in the crime issue, people said, it's a local issue. I said, No, there are lots of ways the federal government can help. And the best way the federal government can help, and did in the Crime Bill, is to find programs that work around the country and help them spread.
Charles Schumer
We can't have a Twitter president. This is serious stuff, this governing.
Charles Schumer
I'm strongly for a patient Bill of Rights. Decisions ought to be made by doctors, not accountants.
Charles Schumer
An economic message, an economic platform unites the factory worker in Scranton, the young woman in Los Angeles struggling to pay her college debt and the single mom in Buffalo who's on minimum wage.
Charles Schumer
Let me say this, to all of the chattering class that so much focuses on those little tiny, yes, porky amendments - the American people really don't care.
Charles Schumer
I feel very strongly that we need to change the way we do trade because it has been one of the major factors that lead to decline of middle class incomes.

Palestinians don't really believe in a state of Israel. They, unlike a majority of Israelis, who have come to the conclusion that they can live with a two-state solution to be determined by the parties, the majority of Palestinians are still very reluctant, and they need to be pushed to get there.
Charles Schumer
So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it's a better education overall.
Charles Schumer
This bill [Immigration Reform and Control act of 1986] is a gamble, a riverboat gamble. There is no guarantee that employer sanctions will work or that amnesty will work. We are headed into uncharted waters.
Charles Schumer
I made education the highest priority of my campaign - actually education and jobs - and the reason is a simple one: I think the future of America depends on it.
Charles Schumer
This is government's primary function - to keep us safe - and when large percentages in America don't feel safe, they start asking: What am I paying my taxes for? What is government all about?
Charles Schumer
Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, whether you are a liberal or a conservative, we know that neither this President nor prior Presidents of both parties did everything right or we would not have had a 9/11.
Charles Schumer
Biking through New York's boroughs in 2005, I thought about some old friends, Joe and Eileen Bailey. Though they are imaginary, I frequently talk to them.
Charles Schumer
I support the death penalty for the kingpin, the guy at the top, but I don't think you should throw a drug offender in jail for five years, and let a mugger out after a year.
Charles Schumer
If you have a sharp bold economic message, you can unite everybody.
Charles Schumer
The companies move labor to the lowest-cost markets. And so I don`t - I used to support these agreements. In the Congress, I lost the AFL-CIO endorsement a few years because I supported them. But when middle class incomes are declining, these agreements don`t work well for America.
Charles Schumer
I want to attract the best people into teaching.
Charles Schumer
You do have to change things as warfare changes.
Charles Schumer
There are two tests in life, more important than any other test. On Monday morning, when you wake up, do you feel in the pit of your stomach you can't wait to go to work? And when you're ready to go home Friday afternoon, do you say, 'I can't wait to go home?'
