Warren Delivers Economic Policy Presentation To Hundreds At BCC

Warren delivered a "Presentation on America's Agenda" at Berkshire Community College on Saturday that drew an overflow crowd filling a second auditorium to listen in. Over the course of about an hour, the state's senior senator outlined her view on policy throughout the years and rallied people to fight for a government that "works for us."

"The system has been rigged for decades so there will never be enough. This won't change unless we make fundamental changes in this country," Warren said.

For Warren, the economy for the middle class changed in the 1980s under President Reagan. The trickle-down economic policy he espoused hasn't worked for the middle class and has led to negative impacts all across American life, she said.

Now the country's gross domestic product continues to rise, corporations are making record profits, the stock market is up, inflation is low, and unemployment is dropped. But that prosperity is not being seen in most American households, she said.
