What [Bernie] Sanders has done is he's focused the nation on the fact that these things are not inevitable. They are the result of policies. We can do better to create an economy that works well for working Americans.

There's an enormous amount of corruption, and as one American adviser put it to me, "The police in Afghanistan are thugs. We equip them, we train them, and now they are equipped and trained thugs."

Decades of scientific research has proven that carbon pollution is harmful to human health and causes global warming.

We can no longer continue with a status quo energy policy. We must create sustainable clean energy jobs and leave the planet to our children and grandchildren in better shape than we found it.

Budgets are nothing if not statements of priorities.

Americans have powerfully sensed that we're off track. There is a structural challenge in our economy that needs to be addressed.

I wont stop fighting to make life better for working Americans and give those who are just trying to find a decent job the opportunity to do so.
