What I am proposing is that we invest from the middle out and the ground up, not the top down. That is not going to work.
We're beginning to see some increase in incomes, and we certainly have had a long string of increasing jobs. We've got to do more to get the whole economy moving, and that's what I believe I will be able to do.
In America, one of the biggest problems we have with China is the illegal dumping of steel and aluminum into our markets. I have fought against that as a senator. I've stood up against it as secretary of state.
Every time Donald Trump thinks things are not going in his direction, he claims whatever it is, is rigged against him.
There was even a time when Donald Trump didn't get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged against him.
Donald Trump's talking down our democracy. And I, for one, am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position.
I will not support putting American soldiers into Iraq as an occupying force. I don't think that is in our interest, and I don't think that would be smart to do. In fact, I think that would be a big red flag waving for ISIS to reconstitute itself.
Syria will remain a hotbed of terrorism as long as the civil war, aided and abetted by the Iranians and the Russians, continue.
We need to keep our eye on ISIS. That's why I want to have an intelligence surge that protects us here at home, why we have to go after them from the air, on the ground, online, why we have to make sure here at home we don't let terrorists buy weapons.
I'm going to continue to push for a no-fly zone and safe havens within Syria not only to help protect the Syrians and prevent the constant outflow of refugees, but to, frankly, gain some leverage on both the Syrian government and the Russians so that perhaps we can have the kind of serious negotiation necessary to bring the conflict to an end and go forward on a political track.
I am not going to let anyone into America who is not vetted, who we do not have confidence in. But I am not going to slam the door on women and children.
When I talk about how we're going to pay for education, how we're going to invest in infrastructure, how we're going to get the cost of prescription drugs down, and a lot of the other issues that people talk to me about all the time, I've made it very clear we are going where the money is. We are going to ask the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share.
We've got to get back to rebuilding the middle class, the families of America. That's where growth will come from.
I am on record as saying that we need to put more money into the Social Security Trust Fund. That's part of my commitment to raise taxes on the wealthy.
I will not cut benefits. I want to enhance benefits for low-income workers and for women who have been disadvantaged by the current Social Security system.
What Donald Trump is proposing with these massive tax cuts will result in a $20 trillion additional national debt. That will have dire consequences for Social Security and Medicare.
You [Hillary Clinton] are the puppet!
Look, [Hillary Clinton] is been proven to be a liar on so many different ways. This is just another lie.
You [Hillary Clinton] ran the State Department, $6 billion was either stolen. They don't know. It's gone, $6 billion.
[Donald Trump] held a number of big rallies where he said that he could not possibly have done those things to those women because they were not attractive enough for them to be assaulted.
Well, you know, once again, Donald [Trump] is implying that he didn't support the invasion of Iraq. I said it was a mistake.
I'm just am amazed that he seems to think the Iraqi government and our allies and everybody else launched the attack on Mosul for this election [2016].
We should raise the national minimum wage.
Tunnels, our ports, our airports - they need work. And there are millions of jobs to be done.
Nobody should want to wake up on November 9th and wonder whether there was more you could have done.
