I'm So Grateful This Day Has Ended

When I Took On The Drug Companies And The Insurance Companies For Universal Health Care Coverage, They Went After Me With A Vengeance.

When Colin Powell Showed Up As Secretary Of State In 2001, Most State Department Employees Still Didn't Even Have Computers On Their Desks. When I Got There They Were Not Mostly Permitted To Have Handheld Devices. I Mean, So You're Thinking How Do We Operate In This New Environment Dominated By Technology, Globalizing Forces? We Have To Change, And I Can't Expect People To Change If I Don't Try To Model It And Lead It.

And Not Go To Things That Sound Good That Really Did Not Have The Kind Of Impact That We Would Want. Who Disagrees With Keeping Neighborhoods Safe?

I Believe In Raising The Minimum Wage And Equal Pay For Work.

We Can't Go To People Who Have Lost Their Job At Gm And Say, 'oh, By The Way, We Are Going To Pay Money To Build A Road Here Or Inoculate Children There,' Unless We Can Demonstrate That It Is In America's Interest. I Happen To Think It Is.
