More quotes by Elizabeth Warren
I don't like credit cards. Let me triple underline that.
Elizabeth Warren
Donald Trump cannot, cannot be the man who leads the United States of America.
Elizabeth Warren
I get heartfelt thanks from all kinds of people. Today I heard from a waitress in Georgia who has lost her job and is trying to figure out how her local bank can change the terms on her credit card, and I heard from a physicist at a major research university who wants to explain a better theory of financial stress tests.
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
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
Say good-bye to Dodd-Frank and all of the financial reforms and efforts to try to rein in Wall Street. Just say good-bye to it. That means we can go where Wall Street gets to call the shots again. We saw how that worked out in 2008.
Elizabeth Warren
My daddy's response [to fear of being poor] was to never talk about money or what might happen if it ran out.
Elizabeth Warren
When you have no real power, go public - really public. The public is where the real power is.
Elizabeth Warren
Donald Trump is a threat to who we are as a people.
Elizabeth Warren
Сount dollars, not pennies. Look at the big-ticket items, in your budget.
Elizabeth Warren
This country isn't working for working people. It's working only for people at the top. That's not the American dream. That's the American nightmare.
Elizabeth Warren
If you have a choice between buying something and paying down your credit card, pay down your credit card.
Elizabeth Warren
Adjusted for inflation, somebody going to college today to a state university, is paying about 300 percent of what her mom or dad did just 30 years ago.
Elizabeth Warren
Good for Warren Buffett that he can afford to do that! Some people, sometimes, need to finance a purchase or rent a car, and a credit card becomes a necessity.
Elizabeth Warren
Look at the big-ticket items, in your budget. Your home or apartment. Your car. Your insurance. If you are overspending on these big monthly bills, then money's draining out of your pocket a lot faster than you can replace it by clipping coupons or buying cheaper coffee.
Elizabeth Warren
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
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
My advice is to treat [credit cards] like what they are: little plastic grenades that must be handled very carefully.
Elizabeth Warren
We lose eight children and teenagers to gun violence every day. If a mysterious virus suddenly started killing eight of our children every day, America would mobilize teams of doctors and public health officials. We would move heaven and earth until we found a way to protect our children. But not with gun violence.
Elizabeth Warren
The choice before us is simple. Will we continue to subsidize the dirty fossil fuels of the past, or will we transition to 21st century clean, renewable energy?
Elizabeth Warren
