If the big banks expect to buy influence when they give money to favored think tanks, then the public has a right to know. If the big banks don't expect to buy influence and are merely making charitable contributions, then their shareholders have a right to know. Either way, there's no excuse for keeping these payments secret.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
If your plan is to put a product out there that people can see and understand, then by golly, we're going to get along just fine.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
If you believe that America must work for all of us, not just the rich and powerful, if you believe we must reject the politics of fear and division, if you believe we are stronger together, then let's work our hearts out to make Hillary Clinton the next President of the United States!
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I learned something important in my race against Senator Brown: voters want political leaders who are willing to break the partisan gridlock. They want fewer closed-door roadblocks and more public votes on legislation that could improve their lives.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
The word's out: I'm a woman, and I'm going to have trouble backing off on that. I am what I am. I'll go out and talk to people about what's happening to their families, and when I do that, I'm a mother. I'm a grandmother.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
'Middle class' used to be synonymous with secure, with steady, with boring, because middle-class people were people who were pretty much safe from the time they first started work on through retirement and until their deaths. No longer.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Some of these biggest financial institutions are out there trading in commodities. They're buying oil tankers. This is not a financial system that has calmed down and is there to serve the American people.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
How do you think we build a future? I think we build it by investing in our kids and investing in education.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
We're Americans. We celebrate success. We just don't want the game to be rigged.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
What we collectively decide about how to bail out our economy, how to pull our economy out of a ditch and what rules we put in place to make sure this problem does not happen again, will shape our country for the next 50 years. This is it.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Early 2000s, we get Enron, which tells us the books are dirty. And what is our repeated response? We just keep pulling the threads out of the regulatory fabric.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
People with banking experience haven't all flocked to the biggest banks; community banks and regional banks, along with smaller trading houses and credit unions, have some very talented people.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I don't think anyone went the polls and said, 'I am casting my vote to make sure that Wall Street has better chances to make bigger profits off the backs of the American people.'
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Most women file for bankruptcy in the aftermath of a serious medical problem, a job loss, or a family break up. It is hard to protect against those.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
It doesn't make me happy to go back and talk about how great high school was.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
President Obama believes in a country where we invest in education, in roads and bridges, in science, and in the future so we can create new opportunities so the next kid can make it big and the kid afer that and the kid after that, that's what President Obama believes.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
In 1978, we adopted a new Bankruptcy Code in the United States, and a principal part of this was designed to adjust to the new corporation, to find ways to let a corporation that had gotten into financial trouble reorganize itself. A big part of the selling point on this bankruptcy law was, 'It will preserve jobs.'
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
You can't predict it all. People will tell you to plan things out as best you can. They will tell you to focus. They will tell you to follow your dreams. They will all be right.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I grew up in a family that nearly lost everything, but I ended up in the United States Senate because I grew up in an America that invested in kids like me and built a real future for us.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I have voted against only one of President Obama's nominees: Michael Froman, a Citigroup alumnus who is currently storming the halls of Congress as U.S. Trade Representative pushing trade deals that threaten to undermine financial regulation, workers' rights, and environmental protections.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I learned early on what debt means, how vulnerable it makes people, what the security of owning a home means.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Because policymakers often rely on think tanks' research when crafting laws and regulations, it's critical to know whether these organizations are truly independent.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Banks were once places to hold money and were very careful in lending to finance families as they built a future - bought homes, bought cars, took out student loans.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
When she was 16, my grandmother, Hannie Reed, drove a wagon in the Oklahoma land rush.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
We all understand that we are living longer, and we are more likely to spend more years as frail, elderly people who can't work. We also recognize that the wonderful advances in medicine also come with wonderful price tags. Those are things you can't budget around.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Republicans say they don't believe in government. Sure they do. They believe in government to help themselves and their powerful friends.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
There is one thing Anthony Weiner and I agree on: there are a lot of smart, hard-working people in the financial industry.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Bankruptcy exposes the economic vulnerability and insecurity of middle class women.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
G.E. doesn't pay any taxes, and we are asking college kids to take on even more debt to get an education and asking seniors to get by on less. These aren't just economic questions. These are moral questions.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Even families with health insurance are quite vulnerable to a severe economic reversal if someone gets sick.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I want millionaires and billionaires and Big Oil companies to pay their fair share.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Credit card agreements run as long as 30 pages, and it's 30 pages of largely incomprehensible text.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I made it real clear to the business community - if your plan for innovation is to trick people, is to fool them, is not to tell them the truth about the price, then you're right: I'm going to be right in the way.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
When I first started talking about running for office, a lot of people said to me, 'Don't let the consultants change you,' and I'd always assured them that I wouldn't allow it to happen. But like it or not, I had to change. Not because of a consultant, but because I started to understand the cost of a stupid mistake.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets. I think that is not true anymore. I was a Republican at a time when I felt like there was a problem that the markets were under a lot more strain. It worried me whether or not the government played too activist a role.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
We've seen filibusters of bills and nominations that ultimately passed with 90 or more votes. Why filibuster something that has that kind of support? Just to slow down the process and keep the Senate from working.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
It is critical that the American people, and not just their financial institutions, be represented at the negotiating table.
Quote by -Elizabeth Warren
Marathon Day in Boston and all of Massachusetts, it's Patriot's Day, and it's a big celebration for us. It's a day when we're kind of the whole world's city there.
