You cannot overstate how bad that effect would be on the American people.

The time to expand Social Security is now.

In other words, what you are confirming is that this legislation would expand Social Security benefits and fully fund Social Security for more than 75 years, by demanding that the very wealthiest people in this country pay more in taxes.

Not once, over more than eight decades of operation, not during the pandemic that we are in, not during the Wall Street crash has anyone ever received a letter or a phone call from the Social Security Administration saying, 'Sorry, the…

Under this legislation, 93.6 percent of households would not see their taxes go up by one penny.

Our legislation applies the Social Security payroll tax on all income, including capital gains and dividends, for those who make over $250,000 a year.

Without Social Security, it is estimated that some 22 million Americans, including more than 16 million seniors, would be living in poverty.

I hope that you will focus on increasing the number of companies who are producing so we don't run into this problem again.

I hope you are strong about that.

If a major corporation lies to the FDA about something as terribly important, the safety of infant formula, what are you going to do?

If a company lies to the FDA about its safety situation, at the same time it does massive stock buybacks, gives the CEO used compensation packages, are you going to fine them?

I sure do. Look, what we're looking at is a nation today where the billionaire class, the people on top, are doing phenomenally well, Chuck. The middle class continues to decline.

You have a better word than sabotage? That's fine. But I think that is the right word.

A woman's right to control her own body is really on the line, and we’ve got to do everything we can to defend that right.

You don’t – look, no politician I know rules out, you know, all options.

I think nobody should think that this process is dead. We should bring those bills up again, and again, and again.

You know what you do? You listen to the American people and not wealthy campaign contributors.

You've got to move toward expanding healthcare. You've got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

I think you have the overwhelming majority of people who consider themselves to be Democrats to be pro-choice.

Look, we passed early on in the Biden administration one of the most significant pieces of legislation in the modern history of this country and that was the American Rescue Plan, which, Chuck, in my view, did a whole lot to help people…

I am tired of hearing from Americans who have lost loved ones because they could not afford the unbelievably high cost of prescription drugs.

Medicare for All will become the law of the land, if not now, but in the future because this is what the American people want.

But we are in agreement that if everybody in this country were guaranteed comprehensive health care, people would be freer to leave their jobs and do what they really wanted to do?

Well, I think many of us have a different idea, and that is that maybe, just maybe Congress should represent the American people and not lobbyists and large corporations.

The genius of Medicare for All is not just that it solves coverage and cost.
