We have to rethink how to teach financial education in the 21st century.
Elizabeth Warren
Image
My response [to fear of being poor]was to study contracts, finance, economics, to plan, to have a goal, to work on that goal. To learn everything I could. I always poked at the things that scared me most.

Credit cards are like snakes: Handle 'em long enough, and one will bite you.
Elizabeth Warren
Image
My advice is to treat [credit cards] like what they are: little plastic grenades that must be handled very carefully.

Once kids get older, the list is longer. So here goes: Stay out of debt. Sometimes debt is necessary, to buy a home or to get an education, but not to buy a sweater or to eat out.

We should be talking about expanding Social Security benefits - not cutting them.

We don't win what we don't fight for.

Why is the Keystone Pipeline the very first, #1 item on the Republicans' agenda? We know that this pipeline runs terrible environmental risks and it just won't do much for the American people. So why is this bill so urgent? Money and power.
Elizabeth Warren
Image
It is not the job of the Department of Education to maximize profits for the government at the cost of squeezing students who are struggling to get an education.
Elizabeth Warren
Image
Donald Trump is a threat economically to America.
Elizabeth Warren
Image
Hillary Clinton is a fighter, she's out there, she's tough.
Elizabeth Warren
Image
I oppose the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. It's an ill-conceived project that would lock us into further dependence on some of the dirtiest fossil fuels on the planet.

Cars, toys, aspirin, meat, toasters, water - nearly every product sold has passed basic safety regulations well in advance of being marketed and sold. But consumer credit is a kind of buyer-beware, wild west. That is partly the result of history.
Elizabeth Warren
Image
You know, the old version was about balancing a checkbook. The new version is about the risks of debt, which is so much more widely available. So I think it's important that we design relevant financial literacy courses, and teach them starting early in grade school.

The game is rigged to work for those who already have money and power.
