Trickle down economics in my view is a fraudulent theory. It does not work and it only benefits the wealthy.

Well, it's a bad idea, Anderson, because it's going to throw 13 million Americans off their health insurance they currently have, including about six million people on Medicaid. It's going to raise premiums by about 10 percent for ordinary…

Billionaires and millionaires have bought hundreds of millions of dollars into the political process, supporting Republican candidates, and today is pay-back time for them. Huge tax breaks for the rich, huge tax breaks for multinational…

It is not the best way to bring people into health care. The best way, of course, is a medicare for all single-payer system, which guarantees health care to all people and it is funded based on ability to pay.

Look, frankly, I think Mr. Jones is going to be win that election and will cross that bridge when we have to.

You know, Anderson, what this whole business is about, you've heard me talk about this for a long time, is the power that big money has in American politics as a result of our corrupt campaign finance system.

But if I'm working on behalf of the Democrats next year in 2018, we're talking about writing ads, and doing digital ads and saying, when the Republicans had a chance to 'get something done,' the one thing they got done was tax cuts for…

I'm concerned that Republicans, not just in Alabama but in Washington, are talking about ways to avoid an election because they do not want their candidate to lose. Like they are talking about changing the rules and (INAUDIBLE) something…

what is the parliamentary situation? The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senate is considering the Kan nomination.

We are the wealthiest, most powerful country in the history of the world. Do we really think that we are doing a great job when half the people in Puerto Rico and 80 percent of the people in the Virgin Islands still don't have electricity…

Should two months after these disasters half the people in Puerto Rico and some 70, 80 percent of the people in the Virgin Islands, still not have electricity?

Today, appropriately, we are dealing with the immediate crisis that we have, but please let us not forget--I am more familiar with Puerto Rico's problems than the Virgin Islands, although they may be similar.

I want to speak about a subject that many Senators are aware of and should be deeply concerned about. As we remember, in the early morning hours of March 3, 2016, Honduras lost one of its most courageous and charismatic indigenous leaders…

as Republicans consider tax proposals to disproportionately benefit corporations and the wealthy, they simultaneously fail to address revenue-draining loopholes that compel hardworking taxpayers to subsidize corporate misconduct. Today, I…

whether one is a progressive, a Democrat, a conservative, a Republican, or somewhere in between, there is a deep understanding in this country that we are living in a rigged economy, and people are increasingly angry and frustrated about…

my job, our job is to go forward, is to do everything we can to defeat this white wing agenda of the Republican Party and the Trump administration, not to look backwards.

I don't think there's any same human being who doesn't believe that my campaign was taking on the entire establishment including the DNC.

Look, you know, it embarrasses me. I'm not happy to say this. He is the President of the United States, but he lies all of the time. This is just one more lie among many other absurd proposals, revisions in the tax proposal is the repeal…
