Raphael Warnock on Budget & Economy

	Raphael Warnock on Budget & Economy

Need to invest in infrastructure, green energy jobs

Warnock: We need to begin thinking about how we survive on the other end of the pandemic. While we're providing relief, I think it's time for us to start thinking about an infrastructure program here in this country that will repair our roads and our bridges, begin to build green energy and green energy jobs, provide jobs with a livable wage, and position our economy to lead into the future. I think that we should make sure that whatever we do, workers are at the center of that relief. Source: Senate Runoff: 2019-20 Georgia 2-year Senate debate , Dec 6, 2020

All Americans deserve prosperity

On opportunity: "I have been preaching in this campaign the same message I have been preaching for years," Warnock told NBC News. "I've been trying to point us toward the highest ideals in our humanity and in the covenant we have with one another as American people--that all of us deserve an opportunity to create a prosperous life for us and our families."

Social safety net is unique work of government

I think this extraordinary time we're living in underscores the importance of the social safety net. We have to make sure that the people who can't work have the benefits they need. We have to make sure that when people are unemployed, that unemployment insurance benefits are there. The last thing we want is seniors having to dip into their pensions in order to fend off poverty. This is the work that government can uniquely do. Source: AARP Voter Guide on 2019-20 Georgia 2-year Senate race , Oct 7, 2020

A stimulus package must help working people, not just rich

Warnock said it's important any stimulus relief package keeps "struggling families and working people" at the center. "We've seen stimulus packages before and sometimes they have done more than enough for people at the top--and well-connected corporations and corporate interests--and not nearly enough for people who are just sheltering in right now, dealing with everyday bread-and-butter conversations: Will I have a job next week? If I don't, will the unemployment check come soon enough?" Source: Huffington Post on 2019-20 Georgia 2-year Senate race , Apr 16, 2020
