More quotes by Elizabeth Warren
The trickle-down experiment that began in the Reagan years failed America's middle class. Sure, the rich are doing great. Giant corporations are doing great. Lobbyists are doing great. But we need an economy where everyone else who works hard gets a shot at doing great!
Elizabeth Warren
It's pretty much how we get anything added to the curriculum. When parents said children needed to be computer literate, the schools started responding. The same thing is true of basic financial literacy.
Elizabeth Warren
Donald Trump is a threat to who we are as a people.
Elizabeth Warren
You built a factory out there, good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads that the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.
Elizabeth Warren
Part of my job is to make sense of all that I hear, and to retell it in a forceful way so that the decision-makers at Treasury can hear it. At least that's how I see it.
Elizabeth Warren
I'm really concerned that 'too big to fail' has become 'too big for trial'.
Elizabeth Warren
College students today are drowning in debt, and it is hurting them and hurting our economy. We must find a way to help families pay for college without condemning them to a lifetime of indebtedness.
Elizabeth Warren
There is an ugly side to Donald Trump that we all have to stop and think about what's going on here.
Elizabeth Warren
My mother saved our home with a minimum wage job. But in the 1960s, a minimum wage job would support a family of three above the poverty line. Not today. Not even close. I understood right then that people can work hard, they can play by the rules, and they can still take a hard smack.
Elizabeth Warren
Credit cards are like snakes: Handle 'em long enough, and one will bite you.
Elizabeth Warren
Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea, God Bless, keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and paid forward for the next kid who comes along.
Elizabeth Warren
No one should have to get a PhD in economics to survive in this economy.
Elizabeth Warren
That's how we build the economy of the future. An economy with more jobs and less debt, we root it in fairness. We grow it with opportunity. And we build it together.
Elizabeth Warren
It is critical that the American people, and not just their financial institutions, be represented at the negotiating table.
Elizabeth Warren
Accountability for the largest financial institutions on Wall Street is the bedrock for a strong economy. Hard-working families and honest businesses cannot survive in a world where the rules don’t keep the marketplace honest.
Elizabeth Warren
Our number one responsibility is to protect Americans from terrorism, that’s our job, so being tough on terrorism is enormously important.
Elizabeth Warren
What we collectively decide about how to bail out our economy, how to pull our economy out of a ditch and what rules we put in place to make sure this problem does not happen again, will shape our country for the next 50 years. This is it.
Elizabeth Warren
We have to rethink how to teach financial education in the 21st century.
Elizabeth Warren
Donald Trump cannot, cannot be the man who leads the United States of America.
Elizabeth Warren
Women tend to vote the economic interests of their families and to speak out on family economic issues. For men, there's often much more focus on the idea of personal failure: If I'm not winning this great economic game, it must be my fault.
Elizabeth Warren
