Clinton: ‘I Care Most About Getting the Economy Working for Everybody’

‘I care deeply about rebuilding the ladders of opportunity that have been battered, and broken, and knocked over’

CLINTON: "Well, I care most about getting the economy working for everybody. Not just those at the top. I care deeply about rebuilding the ladders of opportunity that have been battered, and broken, and knocked over. That people can get an education that’ll equip them for the future, that they can afford to go to college, that we can help them pay down their debt to get it off their backs. I care deeply about health care, something that has motivated me for many years. And how we defend the Affordable Care Act, fix it, make it work better, take on mental health, prescription drug costs, addiction that are just ripping the soul out of people, families, and communities. And I care deeply about the issues of race and discrimination, the kinds of systemic racism that we are still struggling with and that we have to deal with. And the whole suite of issues that I’ve talked about through this campaign, that I’ve worked on are ones that we’re going to tackle from immigration reform to gun safety."
