after seven year of inattent __PUNCT__ neglect and denial __PUNCT__ thi mondai night __PUNCT__ presid_bush mai well actual discuss the seriou econom_problem we face __PUNCT__

and it about time __PUNCT__

you know __PUNCT__ we didn't hear from him when the typic famili_incom drop __MONEY__ over the past seven year __PUNCT__ __MONEY__ for african_american american_famili __PUNCT__

as health_care premium nearli doubl __PUNCT__ ga_price more than doubl __PUNCT__ and colleg cost here in south_carolina rose __NUM__ __PUNCT__ sinc __NUM__ the fastest increas in america __PUNCT__

we didn't hear from him as more than two million foreclosur notic went out __PUNCT__ __NUM__ properti right here in south carolina ar in some stage of foreclosur __PUNCT__

that __NUM___famili that ar face the potenti loss of the american_dream __PUNCT__

but now __PUNCT__ final __PUNCT__ the presid mai acknowledg what the american_peopl have known for year __PUNCT__ that the economi is not work for middl_class and work_famili __PUNCT__

and i welcom the presid to thi convers __PUNCT__

becaus it a convers that american have been have and that i been have with so mani peopl everi dai for year __PUNCT__

i listen to the voic of so mani american as i travel the countri __PUNCT__

the voic of peopl who work_hard all dai __PUNCT__ then sometim addition on the night shift __PUNCT__ but it still not enough __PUNCT__

peopl who whisper to me about the mortgag thei can't afford and the home thei lose __PUNCT__ about medic_bill that wipe them and their save out __PUNCT__

about tuition cost that have cut_short the hope thei had about send a child to colleg __PUNCT__

mani peopl ar simpli overwhelm by the econom_condit thei confront everi dai __PUNCT__

i heard from plenti of peopl who also tell me __PUNCT__ i ok right now __PUNCT__ but what about next year __PUNCT__ or even next month __PUNCT__ the wai thing ar go with peopl lose job and home __PUNCT__ what if my famili is next __PUNCT__ thi is a time of uncertainti and grow anxieti __PUNCT__

we didn't wind up here by accid __PUNCT__

as presid_kennedi onc observ __PUNCT__ econom_polici can result from govern inact as well as government action __PUNCT__

we here in part becaus the presid fail to listen to the voic of peopl who ar hurt __PUNCT__ fail to get involv in the actual work of run the govern __PUNCT__ and fail to act __PUNCT__

instead __PUNCT__ he ha stai at a comfort cruis altitud __PUNCT__ well abov the realiti of peopl_live __PUNCT__ deleg respons to hi advis __PUNCT__ hope the buck would stop somewher els __PUNCT__ anywher els __PUNCT__

in just seven year __PUNCT__ thi administr ha taken us from record surplus into a larg and grow deficit __PUNCT__ from a project __MONEY___trillion surplu to a __MONEY__ trillion debt __PUNCT__

we have seen our grow __PUNCT__ thrive economi that creat___NUM__ __NUM___million_job in the 1990 push to the brink of recess __PUNCT__

and we see the rippl_effect around the world __PUNCT__

thi week __PUNCT__ mani countri saw their largest on __PUNCT__ dai stock_market declin sinc __DATE__ __PUNCT__

in thi new centuri __PUNCT__ the stake have never been higher __PUNCT__

the challeng have never been bigger or more urgent __PUNCT__

but the opportun ar also there __PUNCT__ if we get about the busi of seiz them __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ our econom_problem ar admittedli complex __PUNCT__

but there is on thing we know for sure __PUNCT__ the problem with our economi is not the american_peopl __PUNCT__

instead __PUNCT__ the problem is __PUNCT__ in part __PUNCT__ the bankrupt idea that have govern us for the last seven year __PUNCT__

thei have reward the veri few at the expens of the mani __PUNCT__

the american peopl ar actual the solut to our econom_problem __PUNCT__

american ar the hardest work_peopl in the world __PUNCT__ our product goe up everi year __PUNCT__

that mean we work_harder and harder and produc more __PUNCT__

peopl ar innov __PUNCT__ thei ar entrepreneur __PUNCT__ thei take risk __PUNCT__ thei start small_busi __PUNCT__

thei ar constantli think about the futur __PUNCT__

the factori_worker and the ceo __PUNCT__ the farmer or the small_busi busi_owner __PUNCT__ the scientist in the lab __PUNCT__ or the teacher in the classroom __PUNCT__ everybodi who get up everi dai and get their job done __PUNCT__ support their famili __PUNCT__ that is the strength of the american_economi __PUNCT__

and it time we final had a presid who work as hard for you as you work for america everi singl_dai __PUNCT__

becaus __PUNCT__ in the end __PUNCT__ it is all about peopl __PUNCT__

it is all about the woman in columbia who grab my hand and said that her child wa sick and the insur_compani wouldn't pai for the treatment that wa necessari __PUNCT__

it all about the man in florenc some month_ago who came up to me some month ago and said __PUNCT__ i just keep work_harder and harder and i feel like i fall further and further backward __PUNCT__

but i have a small_busi __PUNCT__ i depend on transport my good __PUNCT__ and the cost of energi just keep go up __PUNCT__

it about the real live of real_peopl right here in south_carolina __PUNCT__

the presid matter more now than ever __PUNCT__

we need a presid who will run the govern and manag the economi __PUNCT__

american_peopl don't hire a presid to talk about our problem but to solv them __PUNCT__ to set a vision for the futur __PUNCT__ and then to roll up our sleev and get about fulfil it __PUNCT__

it time for a presid who believ that lead an econom comeback is a fulltim __PUNCT__ hand __PUNCT__ on job __PUNCT__

who renew our commit to a strong and prosper middl_class and bring busi __PUNCT__ labor and govern togeth to restor america competit in a fast chang world __PUNCT__

a presid who ha a vision for a twenti __PUNCT__ first centuri economi base on share_prosper __PUNCT__

where we measur our success not by the wealth at the veri top but by how broadli wealth is share __PUNCT__

you know __PUNCT__ with all due respect to a lot of my friend on the other side of the aisl __PUNCT__ i do not believ it is rich_peopl who made america_great __PUNCT__

i believ it is the hard_work work_peopl of america who made our countri great __PUNCT__

we want to get back to reward hard_work __PUNCT__

we want the american_dream to be within everyon reach __PUNCT__

we want to make invest in on anoth that allow us __PUNCT__ particularli our children __PUNCT__ to live up to our god __PUNCT__ given potenti __PUNCT__

these ar not just econom_issu __PUNCT__ these ar moral_issu about our common_purpos as a nation __PUNCT__

whether peopl can provid for their famili __PUNCT__ whether thei can share in the bless of thi great_countri __PUNCT__ that speak to who we ar as a peopl and what we valu __PUNCT__

the wai we bring our countri togeth is by act on our valu __PUNCT__

true uniti can onli be achiev by find real_solut for the american_peopl __PUNCT__ and then deliv them __PUNCT__

without real_solut __PUNCT__ divis and disappoint __PUNCT__ not uniti __PUNCT__ will be the result __PUNCT__

we been there befor __PUNCT__

presid_bush promis to be a unit __PUNCT__ not a divid __PUNCT__

and we know how well that turn out __PUNCT__

becaus uniti come from take on the tough challeng __PUNCT__ ask us to be bigger than ourselv __PUNCT__ summon up to great __PUNCT__ again __PUNCT__

and that is what i intend to do as presid __PUNCT__ on dai on __PUNCT__

i will bring the voic of the american_peopl back to the white_hous __PUNCT__

i will ask all of us to be involv in solv our problem __PUNCT__

otherwis __PUNCT__ here is what i fear __PUNCT__

most of us __PUNCT__ as i look around thi room __PUNCT__ with the except of the student who ar crowd into the foyer and spill out the door __PUNCT__ we have been the beneficiari of the sacrific that came from previou_gener __PUNCT__ from parent and grandpar __PUNCT__ from peopl who fought the war __PUNCT__ and built big_busi __PUNCT__ and did the labor __PUNCT__ who creat the extraordinari success of that america is __PUNCT__

we have to keep faith with all that came befor us __PUNCT__

i don't think ani of us want to be part of the first gener of american to leav our countri wors off than when we found it __PUNCT__

that would be such a breach with what american_histori ha meant to all of us __PUNCT__

so the time for wait is over and the time for talk is over __PUNCT__

too mani famili ar pai the price of inact __PUNCT__ right here and right now __PUNCT__ so i think we need to begin act __PUNCT__ and we can't wait until __DATE__ __PUNCT__

we need both an immedi __PUNCT__ short __PUNCT__ term plan to jumpstart the economi __PUNCT__ and a long __PUNCT__ term_econom vision with strategi to keep the economi go well into the futur __PUNCT__

so let start with the short __PUNCT__ term __PUNCT__

if i were presid right now __PUNCT__ i would work with the congress to jumpstart the economi by immedi address the hous_crisi __PUNCT__ creat new job __PUNCT__ and get monei_back into the pocket of the american_peopl __PUNCT__

we know that the loss of a home is devast and so mani famili across our countri ar face that __PUNCT__

but it not onli those who ar actual lose their home i worri about __PUNCT__

becaus of thi mortgag_crisi __PUNCT__ everi home owner is lose valu in our home __PUNCT__

the american_peopl have lost more than __MONEY___trillion worth of valu in our home in the last year __PUNCT__ that nearli half the size of the entir unit_state state_govern govern_budget __PUNCT__

and african_american american_famili ar especi hard hit __PUNCT__ subprim_loan ar five time more common in predominantli african_american neighborhood than predominantli white on __PUNCT__

but thi is not just an econom_crisi __PUNCT__ it is truli an american_dream crisi __PUNCT__

your home isn't just your onli greatest sourc of wealth __PUNCT__ it your greatest sourc of secur __PUNCT__

it what anchor us to our neighborhood and commun __PUNCT__

it where we rais our kid __PUNCT__ celebr birthdai and holidai __PUNCT__ and make memori togeth __PUNCT__

i have visit with so mani peopl in their home and i know what our home mean to us __PUNCT__

i know the feel of refug and secur i feel when i walk into my own home __PUNCT__

i know what it like to sit in home where famili haven't had the monei to bui all the furnitur thei need but thei so proud to show off their new home __PUNCT__

and nearli a year_ago __PUNCT__ i call for immedi action to address thi mount mortgag_crisi __PUNCT__

less than two week after that __PUNCT__ the bush_administr told_congress that what i wa call for wasn't necessari __PUNCT__ that the problem wa contain __PUNCT__

sever month later __PUNCT__ the presid assur us that there would be a soft land for the hous_market __PUNCT__

but now we know better __PUNCT__

so all of last year __PUNCT__ i propos polici to help famili keep their home __PUNCT__

i wrote to the regul urg them to take their head out of the sand and do someth for the million of famili at risk of foreclosur __PUNCT__

i introduc_legisl to crack down on abus lend_practic and give state the resourc to help at __PUNCT__ risk famili avoid lose their home __PUNCT__

the result __PUNCT__ a plan from presid_bush that let bank off the hook and leav homeown to fend for themselv __PUNCT__

in the word of on expert __PUNCT__ the presid plan wa __PUNCT__ the bank lobbi dream __PUNCT__

thi administr ha deliv a foreclosur notic on the american_dream __PUNCT__

the presid plan to fix our economi would do next to noth about the foreclosur crisi __PUNCT__

and thei said that my insist on stop foreclosur just doesn't make_sens __PUNCT__

well i sorri to disagre __PUNCT__

the hous_crisi is contribut to rise unemploy __PUNCT__

construct job ar disappear __PUNCT__ and i see a few hard __PUNCT__ hat here in the audienc __PUNCT__

south_carolina alon lost___NUM__ construct job in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

it eras famili __PUNCT__ wealth __PUNCT__ jeopard consum_spend __PUNCT__ which constitut two __PUNCT__ third of our economi __PUNCT__

it caus __MONEY___billion in loss to bank __PUNCT__ make them less like to offer credit to busi and famili that need it __PUNCT__

that why my plan to fix the economi start by do everyth possibl to ensur that we don't lose ani more home and that we stabil the economi when it come to the mortgag_crisi __PUNCT__

i want to start with a __NUM__ __PUNCT__ dai moratorium on foreclosur __PUNCT__

if the bank is about to foreclos on your home __PUNCT__ you should have some breath room to restructur your mortgag __PUNCT__

i call for freez the monthli rate on adjust rate_mortgag for at least five year or until the mortgag have been convert into loan that famili can afford __PUNCT__

if you have an adjust mortgag that about to skyrocket __PUNCT__ you have the chanc to pai it off with afford payment __PUNCT__

peopl sai well isn't thi reward peopl who mayb got in over their head __PUNCT__ well to some extent it is try to stop what is happen that will affect all of us __PUNCT__

if we don't help these famili work out their mortgag now we will have more empti home becaus the hous_market is so low right now __PUNCT__ nobodi is bui __PUNCT__

then we have deterior neighborhood __PUNCT__ then we have decreas tax_revenu for citi and town __PUNCT__ it becom a viciou_cycl __PUNCT__

that why i also would also creat a __MONEY___billion fund to help hard __PUNCT__ hit commun and distress homeown weather the foreclosur crisi __PUNCT__

we need to be sure to shore up our commun so that thei don't begin to also deterior in the face of a loss in the home market __PUNCT__

i also would includ direct tax rebat to work and middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__

we need to target it to those who ar most in need __PUNCT__

the democrat_leadership in the hous and senat along with the white_hous appear to be near a deal and i am hearten to hear that thei ar plan to extend assist to the ten of million of work_american who need it the most __PUNCT__

that what i have been call for and that what i think we have to do __PUNCT__

but i also want to target the need of work_famili that ar realli face tough choic __PUNCT__

we need relief from skyrocket energi_bill __PUNCT__

we need expand unemploy_insur for those who ar struggl to find a job __PUNCT__

but i want to think about the futur __PUNCT__ that why i would take immedi step to spur __PUNCT__ green collar __PUNCT__ job_growth __PUNCT__ high __PUNCT__ wage __PUNCT__ renew_energi job that ar good for our environ and cannot be outsourc __PUNCT__

i would do thi immedi through a crash weather program that would put_peopl to work __PUNCT__ help to insul home __PUNCT__ and give green collar_job job_train initi to help prepar peopl __PUNCT__

i would also implement my green_build fund to rebuild and renov school and other public build to help make them more energi_effici __PUNCT__

we can creat million of new job in america through clean __PUNCT__ renew_energi __PUNCT__

i know we can do it becaus i seen what other countri have done __PUNCT__

germani decid a few year_ago to make a big bet on solar_power __PUNCT__

thei creat tax_incent __PUNCT__ thei creat train_program to take construct_worker and other to know how to instal solar_panel __PUNCT__

thei have creat sever hundr_thousand new job in three short year __PUNCT__

thei have a smaller economi than our __PUNCT__

if we got seriou about thi __PUNCT__ i know we could do the same __PUNCT__

i realli hope that as part of thi recoveri packag __PUNCT__ we start get seriou about the futur __PUNCT__

we have to stop the crisi but then we have to plan for an economi that will keep gener good new job __PUNCT__ and clean_energi is our best bet __PUNCT__

but jumpstart the economi in the short __PUNCT__ term is just the begin __PUNCT__

we need a long __PUNCT__ term vision to build a strong __PUNCT__ prosper economi for the next gener __PUNCT__

i think it wa winston_churchil who said that __PUNCT__ the differ between a politician and a statesman is that the politician think about the next elect __PUNCT__ while the statesman think about the next gener __PUNCT__

we got to start think about the next gener __PUNCT__

we can't do thi piecem __PUNCT__ we got to start help peopl more __PUNCT__

mayb you want to start save for retir __PUNCT__ but you can't do it becaus your tax ar too high and your wage aren't high enough __PUNCT__

mayb you want to go back to school __PUNCT__ but your health_care premium ar too high so you can't afford tuition __PUNCT__

we live in a complex __PUNCT__ interconnect __PUNCT__ global_economi __PUNCT__

all of our challeng ar all togeth now __PUNCT__

we can't just put band __PUNCT__ aid on on and expect to solv our problem __PUNCT__

what we have to do is have a plan to creat good_job and restor fair to the economi __PUNCT__

we need to renew the promis of america that if you work_hard __PUNCT__ you can get ahead __PUNCT__

we need to return to fiscal_respons __PUNCT__ so that washington onc again live within a budget __PUNCT__ just like you and your famili ha to do __PUNCT__

i believ solv the job crisi over the long_run start with solv the energi_crisi __PUNCT__

that why i will creat a __MONEY___billion strateg energi fund to jumpstart invest in clean_energi energi_technolog __PUNCT__

we will creat a green_revolut with invest in biofuel __PUNCT__ wind __PUNCT__ solar __PUNCT__ geotherm __PUNCT__ all of the clean_energi and energi_effici chang we need to make __PUNCT__

and as we creat these new job possibl for the next gener we will pai for it by elimin the tax subsidi for the big_oil oil_compani and requir them to pai into the strateg energi fund __PUNCT__ or invest in altern_energi themselv __PUNCT__

thei have made record profit in recent_year __PUNCT__

now it time thei did their fair_share __PUNCT__

i also know that we won't get ani of thi done until the two oil men leav the white_hous but as soon as thei do __PUNCT__ we will start to work on thi long __PUNCT__ term vision __PUNCT__

we also help creat_job by modern and rebuild our crumbl infrastructur __PUNCT__

the tragic bridg collaps in minnesota thi past summer __PUNCT__ a recent leve break in nevada __PUNCT__ and what happen with the leve in new orlean ar pain remind that our infrastructur is in danger disrepair __PUNCT__

everi billion_dollar that we spend fix crumbl infrastructur creat___NUM__ new job __PUNCT__

i have a rebuild america plan to invest __MONEY___billion over ten_year in an __PUNCT__ emerg repair fund __PUNCT__

we need to modern our port __PUNCT__ our rail system __PUNCT__ our airport __PUNCT__ our public_transit transit_system __PUNCT__ our bridg __PUNCT__ our tunnel __PUNCT__ our road __PUNCT__

we need to expand access to broadband across america __PUNCT__ particularli to rural_area __PUNCT__

we need to end thi administr war on scienc and restor america to it right place __PUNCT__

as the innov nation __PUNCT__ i will increas invest in basic and appli research at the nation scienc foundat __PUNCT__ the nation_institut of health and our other govern_agenc and univers __PUNCT__

we becam so success after world_war_ii becaus busi and scienc work hand in hand with govern __PUNCT__

our great univers like furman were on the cut edg of discoveri that we translat into better outcom for peopl __PUNCT__

but creat_job is just the begin __PUNCT__

we need to empow our worker and ensur that our tax_system is fair __PUNCT__

that the second piec of a long __PUNCT__ term plan __PUNCT__

for the past seven year __PUNCT__ the oil_compani __PUNCT__ the predatori student_loan compani __PUNCT__ the insur_compani __PUNCT__ the drug_compani have had a presid who stand up for them __PUNCT__

i intend to be a presid who stand up for you everi singl_dai about how we make_america work better for you __PUNCT__

dure the 1950 and 60 which mani of us look back at with great appreci becaus the economi work so well __PUNCT__ for so long __PUNCT__ for so mani __PUNCT__ we had a much higher percentag of our workforc union __PUNCT__

now it is much lower __PUNCT__

we need to make sure peopl can organ and bargain for good wage and safe work_condit __PUNCT__

we need to be sure that we restor fair to the economi by restor fair to the tax_code __PUNCT__

right now __PUNCT__ some of the peopl i repres in new york_citi __PUNCT__ wall_street invest manag __PUNCT__ make___MONEY__ __MONEY___million a year pai just __NUM__ __PUNCT__ on their earn __PUNCT__ while a teacher make___MONEY__ pai___NUM__ __PUNCT__

i don't think that right and i been call to rais the tax on those peopl at the top __PUNCT__

as corpor_profit have skyrocket __PUNCT__ the percentag of tax paid by corpor ha fallen __PUNCT__

we have richli reward peopl and i am all in favor of incentiv peopl to do well __PUNCT__

that is part of what america stand for __PUNCT__

but it isn't right that the wealthi and the well __PUNCT__ connect have gotten so mani more benefit than the middl_class and work_peopl have __PUNCT__

we need to extend middl_class tax_cut __PUNCT__ includ the child tax_credit __PUNCT__ marriag penalti relief __PUNCT__

we need to reform the altern minimum tax to ensur it doesn't hit middl_class class_famili with higher_tax tax_rate __PUNCT__

it wa never suppos to do that __PUNCT__

we need to expand the earn_incom incom_tax_credit and rais the minimum_wage to ensur that work pai for all american __PUNCT__

no on who work_full full_time should live in poverti __PUNCT__

if you work_full full_time you shouldn't be in poverti __PUNCT__

we need to give peopl the tool and support thei need to succe in todai complex economi __PUNCT__

that start with recommit ourselv to make colleg afford for our young_peopl __PUNCT__

that especi import here in south_carolina __PUNCT__ the averag student_debt upon graduat is __MONEY__

so you start in a big hole befor you ever go to work on the first dai __PUNCT__

and you know what happen which is realli troubl to me __PUNCT__ america higher_educ educ_system which wa the envi of the world __PUNCT__ we had an open system __PUNCT__ the highest percentag of young_peopl who went to get degre __PUNCT__ but now from japan to south_korea to canada and ireland __PUNCT__ other countri ar educ their young_peopl at a higher_rate than here in america __PUNCT__

the reason for that is the cost ha explod __PUNCT__

it is more expens todai than it wa thirti_year_ago to send a child to colleg __PUNCT__

that why i outlin a comprehens plan to open the door of colleg to young_peopl __PUNCT__

it includ a new __MONEY__ colleg tax_credit that will cover more than __NUM__ __PUNCT__ of the typic cost of public colleg and univers or the full_cost of tuition and fee for commun_colleg __PUNCT__

i also want to increas the size of pell_grant __PUNCT__ someth that former secretari rilei mention __PUNCT__

i want to strengthen commun_colleg __PUNCT__ invest __MONEY___million to support innov __PUNCT__ on __PUNCT__ the __PUNCT__ job_train and apprenticeship program for those who don't go to colleg __PUNCT__

we also have to ensur that everi american ha qualiti __PUNCT__ afford health_care __PUNCT__

here in south_carolina alon __PUNCT__ __NUM___peopl ar uninsur __PUNCT__

i want to ask you __PUNCT__ how mani of you know someon here in south_carolina who is uninsur __PUNCT__ how mani of you know somebodi who mai have insur but it just doesn't pai for what the doctor or the hospit sai you need __PUNCT__ we have two problem __PUNCT__ we have the problem of the uninsur and the problem of the underinsur __PUNCT__

my american health choic plan would insur everi singl_person for what thei need __PUNCT__

it simpl __PUNCT__ if you have insur you like __PUNCT__ you keep it __PUNCT__

there is no disrupt __PUNCT__

if you have a good_polici through your busi or through a union or through a municip __PUNCT__ noth chang __PUNCT__

but if you don't have insur __PUNCT__ or you don't like the insur you have __PUNCT__ you can choos from the same menu of privat_plan avail to member of congress __PUNCT__

and we will provid tax_credit to help you afford it __PUNCT__

my plan also ban insur_compani discrimin __PUNCT__ so you will never be deni coverag becaus of pre __PUNCT__ exist condit or risk factor that you might have __PUNCT__

and we don't requir small_busi to do anyth but it doe provid tax_credit to help small_busi if thei choos to afford to bui_health health_care for their employe __PUNCT__

final __PUNCT__ we have to help more american save for a secur retir __PUNCT__

right now __PUNCT__ fewer than half of all american have ani retir_save save_account at all __PUNCT__

when i presid __PUNCT__ i want to provid everi singl american with an easi __PUNCT__ automat opportun to save for the futur through __PUNCT__ american retir_account __PUNCT__

these account will take the best of the __NUM__ plan and make them avail to everi work_famili __PUNCT__

and we give famili up to __MONEY__ in tax_cut to help them save __PUNCT__

and final we got to return to fiscal_respons __PUNCT__

year after year __PUNCT__ the presid ha increas_spend at more than doubl the rate of the previou_administr and hand tax_cut after tax cut to multi __PUNCT__ millionair __PUNCT__ oil_compani and other interest_group __PUNCT__

and how ha he paid for all of thi spend __PUNCT__ by borrow_monei from foreign_countri like china __PUNCT__

when peopl ask me __PUNCT__ why is it hard to get tough on china and enforc our trade_agreement __PUNCT__ i tell them __PUNCT__ becaus thei our banker __PUNCT__

we ow them __PUNCT__
