Raphael Warnock

you'll find something greater and loftier.

I believe that, and it's what informs my work as a public servant.

Well, I think that you see it at the center of our politics.

Folks are always telling us the things we can't afford.

And then we look around, you know, we can't afford health care.

You know, a few months ago, we were debating health care premiums in this country.

And we were trying to get them to expand the premium tax credits for the Affordable Care Act.

And they kept telling us, oh, we can't afford to do that.

And so as a result of that, literally the health care costs for millions of Americans, some 22 million Americans, doubled on average.

For some, tripled, quadrupled.

We can't afford health care.

We can't afford child care.

In fact, we heard Donald Trump literally say into the mic, we didn't think anybody would be listening.

We can't afford that.

We can't afford child care.

In fact, he said Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.

He talked about all these things as if, you know, these are special interest groups and not the people who, by the way, it's their money.

I mean, I love it when politicians talk about the people's money like it's theirs.

We can't afford all of that.

You know, we're just going to all we can afford, he said, was the military.
