Now I know in a world here in Washington, where the government is now run by billionaires, $2,400 doesn't seem like a whole lot of money.

These oligarchs are not only happy to have huge amounts of money. They want more.

I’m planning to propose a $250 dollar bill to include the president’s portrait.

many, many people are furious at the health insurance companies who make huge profits denying them and their families the healthcare that they desperately need.

$2,400 is something that will help.

You lie!

I condemn it wholeheartedly. It was a terrible act.

Instead of cutting Social Security and giving tax breaks to billionaires, Congress must expand Social Security so that every senior in America can retire with the dignity and the respect that he or she deserves.

Mr. Chairman, I respectfully request that this committee bring Elon Musk before this committee so that we can really hear what’s going on with the government.

If you want to discuss policies in the Department of Labor, let’s bring in the real secretary.

The most important point of this hearing is, let me be very clear: Today, we are not voting on who the next Secretary of Labor is.

That is a very troubling response because the studies are there.

Does anyone here really think that any Secretary of Labor, any Secretary of Education, is going to make decisions by himself or herself?

Donald Trump pledged no cuts to Social Security on the campaign trail, but now he and Elon Musk have plans to do exactly that.

Let me be clear—laying off half of the workforce at the Social Security Administration and shuttering field offices will mean the delay, disruption, and denial of benefits.

That’s enormously paranoid.

Their job is to have these town halls and to listen to the feelings and concerns of their community.

[Government jobs] are not real jobs producing federal revenue, by the way. They're consuming taxpayer dollars.
