I was just curious, if elected, what you would do with regards to college tuition and making it easier for me and my classmates
The best thing I can do for you, is to tell you to shop around
I'm a recipient of Pell Grants, I come from a very middle class family, under your plan you cut it by 15%
I was just curious as to why you would cut a grant that goes directly to the middle and lower class people that need it the most
Because Pell Grants have been unsustainable
Education was the gateway to opportunity for me, it was the gateway for Michelle, it was the gateway for most of you.
And now more than ever, it is the gateway to a middle class life.

That's exactly what I said, the headline you read, which said let Detroit go bankrupt
I've met workers in Detroit and Toledo who feared they'd never build another American car,
and today they can't build them fast enough because we reinvented a dying auto industry that's back on top of the world
This wasn't just about cars. It was about the people who built and made those cars, and about the America those people build!
Ryan has proposed slowing the growth of Medicare

You can call it a voucher, whatever you want

If I were elected and Congress were to pass the DREAM Act would I veto it and the answer is yes

they have chosen to do right by America and it's time for us to do right by them
You actually want to lower taxes on the wealthy, even lower than the Bush tax cuts
I refused to ask middle class families to give up their deductions for owning a home or raising their kids,
just to pay for another millionaires tax cut
For the values that define us, for the ideals that inspire us,
there is only one choice, that choice is to move forward.
