[BUGS BUNNY]

[color=#000000]ON AN ASSEMBLY LINE WAS PART OF A WORKFORCE THAT TURNED OUT THE BEST PRODUCTS ON EARTH. THE TWO OF THEM SHARED THE OBSERVATION OF A NATION THAT HAD TRIUMPH OVER OPPRESSION AND FASCISM. THEY UNDERSTOOD THEY WERE PART OF SOMETHING LARGER. THEY WERE CONTRIBUTING TO A STORY OF SUCCESS THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAD A CHANCE TO SHARE. THE BASIC AMERICAN PROMISE THAT IF YOU WORKED HARD, YOU COULD DO WELL ENOUGH TO RAISE A FAMILY, OWN A HOME, SEND YOUR KIDS TO COLLEGE, AND PUT A LITTLE AWAY FOR RETIREMENT. THE DEFINING ISSUE OF OUR TIME IS HOW TO KEEP THAT PROMISE ALIVE. NO CHALLENGE IS MORE URGENT. NO DEBATE IS MORE IMPORTANT. WE CAN EITHER SETTLE FOR A COUNTRY WHERE A SHRINKING NUMBER OF PEOPLE DO REALLY WELL WHILE A GROWING NUMBER OF AMERICANS BARELY GET BY. OR WE CAN RESTORE AN ECONOMY WHERE EVERYONE GETS A FAIR SHOT AND EVERYONE DOES THEIR FAIR SHARE, AND EVERYONE PLAYS BY THE SAME SET OF RULES WHAT'S AT STAKE AREN'T DEMOCRATIC VALUES, OR REPUBLICAN VALUES BUT AMERICAN VALUES. WE HAVE TO RECLAIM THEM. LET'S REMEMBER HOW WE GOT HERE. LONG BEFORE THE RECESSION, JOBS IN MANUFACTURING BEGAN LEAVING OUR SHORES. TECHNOLOGY MADE BUSINESSES MORE EFFICIENT BUT ALSO MADE SOME JOBS OBSOLETE. FOLKS AT THE TOP SAW THEIR INCOMES RISE LIKE NEVER BEFORE, BUT MOST PEOPLE MORTGAGES HAD BEEN SOLD TO PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T AFFORD OR UNDERSTAND THEM. BANKS MADE HUGE BETS WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. REGULATORS LOOKED THE OTHER WAY. BANKS HAD MADE HUGE BETS AND BONUSES WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. REGULATORS HAD LOOKED THE OTHER WAY OR DIDN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO STOP THE BAD BEHAVIOR. IT WAS WRONG. IT WAS IRRESPONSIBLE. AND IT PLUNGED OUR ECONOMY INTO A CRISIS THAT PUT MILLIONS OUT OF WORK, SADDLED US WITH MORE DEBT, AND LEFT INNOCENT, HARDWORKING AMERICANS HOLDING THE BAG. IN THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE I TOOK OFFICE, WE LOST NEARLY FOUR MILLION JOBS. AND WE LOST ANOTHER FOUR MILLION BEFORE OUR POLICIES WERE IN FULL EFFECT. THOSE ARE THE FACTS. BUT SO ARE THESE-- IN THE LAST 22 MONTHS, BUSINESSES HAVE CREATED MORE THAN THREE MILLION JOBS. ( APPLAUSE ) LAST YEAR, THEY CREATED THE MOST JOBS SINCE 2005. AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS ARE HIRING AGAIN. CREATING JOBS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE LATE 1990s. TOGETHER, WE'VE AGREED TO CUT THE DEFICIT BY MORE THAN $2 TRILLION. AND WE PUT IN PLACE NEW RULES TO HOLD WALL STREET ACCOUNTABLE, SO A CRISIS LIKE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. ( APPLAUSE ) THE STATE OF OUR UNION IS GETTING STRONGER, AND WE'VE COME TOO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW. AS LONG AS I'M PRESIDENT, I WILL WORK WITH ANYONE IN THIS CHAMBER TO BUILD ON THIS MOMENTUM, BUT I INTEND TO FIGHT OBSTRUCTION WITH ACTION, AND I WILL OPPOSE ANY EFFORT TO RETURN TO THE VERY SAME POLICIES THAT BROUGHT ON THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS IN THE FIRST PLACE. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ). NO, WE WILL NOT GO BACK TO AN ECONOMY WEAKENED BY OUTSOURCING, BAD DEBT, AND PHONY FINANCIAL PROFITS. TONIGHT, I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT HOW WE MOVE FORWARD AND LAY OUT A BLUEPRINT FOR AN ECONOMY THAT'S BUILT TO LAST, AN ECONOMY BUILT ON AMERICAN MANUFACTURING, AMERICAN ENERGY, SKILLS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS, AND A RENEWAL OF AMERICAN VALUES. THIS BLUEPRINT BEGINS WITH AMERICAN MANUFACTURING. ON THE DAY I TOOK OFFICE, OUR AUTO INDUSTRY WAS ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE. SOME EVEN SAID WE SHOULD LET IT DIE. WITH A MILLION JOBS AT STAKE, I REFUSED TO LET THAT HAPPEN. IN EXCHANGE FOR HELP, WE DEMANDED RESPONSIBILITY. WE GOT WORKERS AND AUTOMAKERS TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES. WE GOT THE INDUSTRY TO RETOOL AND RESTRUCTURE. TODAY, GENERAL MOTORS IS BACK ON TOP AS THE WORLD'S NUMBER ONE AUTO MAKER. ( APPLAUSE ) CHRYSLER HAS GROWN FASTER IN THE U.S. THAN ANY MAJOR CAR COMPANY. FORD IS INVESTING BILLIONS IN U.S. PLANT AND FACTORIES, AND TOGETHER THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY ADDED NEARLY 160,000 JOBS. WE BET ON AMERICAN WORKERS. WE BET ON AMERICAN INGENUITY, AND TONIGHT, THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY IS BACK. ( APPLAUSE ) WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DETROIT CAN HAPPEN IN OTHER INDUSTRIES. IT CAN HAPPEN IN CLEVELAND AND PITTSBURGH AND RALEIGH. WE CAN'T BRING EVERY JOB BACK THAT'S LEFT OUR SHORE, BUT RIGHT NOW, IT'S GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE TO DO BUSINESS IN PLACES LIKE CHINA. MEANWHILE, AMERICA IS MORE PRODUCTIVE. A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE C.E.O. OF MASTERLOCK, TOLD ME IT NOW MAKES BUSINESS SENSE FOR HIM TO BRING JOBS BACK HOME. TODAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 15 YEARS, MASTERLOCK'S UNIONIZED PLANT IN MILWAUKEE IS RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY. ( APPLAUSE ) SO WE HAVE A HUGE OPPORTUNITY AT THIS MOMENT TO BRING MANUFACTURING BACK, BUT WE HAVE TO SEIZE IT. TONIGHT, MY MESSAGE TO BUSINESS LEADERS IS SIMPLE-- ASK YOURSELVES WHAT YOU CAN DO TO BRING JOBS BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR COUNTRY WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP YOU SUCCEED. ( APPLAUSE ) WE SHOULD START WITH OUR TAX CODE. RIGHT NOW, COMPANIES GET TAX BREAKS FOR MOVING JOBS AND PROFITS OVERSEAS. MEANWHILE, COMPANIES THAT CHOOSE TO STAY IN AMERICA, GET HIT WITH ONE OF THE HIGHEST TAX RATES IN THE WORLD. IT MAKES NO SENSE. AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. SO LET'S CHANGE IT. FIRST, IF YOU'RE A BUSINESS THAT WANTS TO OUTSOURCE JOBS, YOU SHOULDN'T GET A TAX DEDUCTION FOR DOING IT. ( APPLAUSE ) THAT MONEY SHOULD BE USED TO COVER MOVING EXPENSES FOR COMPANIES LIKE MASTERLOCK THAT DECIDE TO BRING JOBS HOME. SECOND, NO AMERICAN COMPANY SHOULD BE ABLE TO AVOID PAYING ITS FAIR SHARE OF TAXES BY MOVING JOBS AND PROFITS OVERSEAS. ( APPLAUSE ) FROM NOW ON, EVERY MULTINATIONAL COMPANY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY A BASIC MINIMUM TAX, AND EVERY PENNY SHOULD GO TOWARDS LOWERING TAXES FOR COMPANIES THAT CHOOSE TO STAY HERE AND HIRE HERE IN AMERICA. ( APPLAUSE ) THIRD, IF YOU'RE AN AMERICAN MANUFACTURER, YOU SHOULD GET A BIGGER TAX CUT. IF YOU'RE A HIGH-TECH MANUFACTURER, WE SHOULD DOUBLE THE TAX DEDUCTION YOU GET FOR MAKING YOUR PRODUCTS HERE. AND IF YOU WANT TO RELOCATE IN A COMMUNITY THAT WAS HIT HARD WHEN A FACTORY LEFT TOWN, YOU SHOULD GET HELP FINANCING A NEW PLANT, EQUIPMENT, OR TRAINING FOR NEW WORKERS. ( APPLAUSE ) SO MY MESSAGE-- MY MESSAGE IS SIMPLE-- IT IS TIME TO STOP REWARDING BUSINESSES THAT SHIP JOBS OVERSEAS AND START REWARDING COMPANIES THAT CREATE JOBS RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA. SEND ME THESE TAX REFORMS, AND I WILL SIGN THEM RIGHT AWAY. ( APPLAUSE ) WE'RE ALSO MAKING IT EASIER FOR AMERICAN BUSINESSES TO SELL PRODUCTS ALL OVER THE WORLD. TWO YEARS AGO, I SET A GOAL OF DOUBLING U.S. EXPORTS OVER FIVE YEARS. WITH THE BIPARTISAN TRADE AGREEMENTS WE SIGNED INTO LAW, WE'RE ON TRACK TO MEET THAT GOAL AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. ( APPLAUSE ) SOON THERE WILL BE MILLIONS OF NEW CUSTOMERS FOR AMERICAN GOODS IN PANAMA, COLOMBIA, AND SOUTH KOREA. SOON THERE WILL BE NEW CARS ON THE STREETS OF SOEUL, IMPORTED FROM DETROIT AND TOLEDO AND CHICAGO. I WILL GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO OPEN NEW MARKETS FOR AMERICAN PRODUCTS, AND I WILL NOT STAND BY WHEN OUR COMPETITORS DON'T PLAY BY THE RULES. WE'VE BROUGHT TRADE CASES AGAINST CHINA AT NEARLY TWICE THE RATE AS THE LAST ADMINISTRATION, AND IT'S MADE A DIFFERENCE. ( APPLAUSE ) OVER 1,000 AMERICANS ARE WORKING TODAY BECAUSE WE STOPPED A SURGE IN CHINESE TIRES, BUT WE NEED TO DO MORE. IT'S NOT RIGHT WHEN ANOTHER COUNTRY LESS OUR MOVIES, MUSIC, AND SOFTWARE BE PIRATED. IT'S NOT FAIR WHEN FOREIGN MANUFACTURERS HAVE A LEG UP ON OURS, ONLY BECAUSE THEY'RE HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED. TONIGHT, I'M ANNOUNCING THE CREATION OF A TRADE ENFORCEMENT UNIT THAT WILL BE CHARGED WITH INVESTIGATING UNFAIR TRADING PRACTICES IN COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA. THERE WILL BE MORE INSPECTIONS-- ( APPLAUSE ) THERE WILL BE MORE INSPECTIONS TO PREVENT COUNTERFEIT OR UNSAFE GOODS FROM CROSSING OUR BORDERES, AND THIS CONGRESS SHOULD MAKE SURE NO FOREIGN COUNTRY HAS AN ADVANTAGE OVER AMERICAN MANUFACTURING WHEN IT COMES TO ACCESSING FINANCING OR NEW MARKETS. OUR WORKERS ARE THE MOST PRODUCTIVE ON EARTH, AND IF THE PLAYING FIELD IS LEVEL, I PROMISE YOU, AMERICA WILL ALWAYS WIN. ( APPLAUSE ) I ALSO HEAR FROM MANY BUSINESS LEADERS WHO WANT BUT CAN'T FIND WORKERS WITH THE RIGHT SKILLS. GROWING INDUSTRIES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HAVE TWICE AS MANY OPENINGS AS WE HAVE WORKERS WHO CAN DO THE JOB. THINK ABOUT THAT. OPENINGS AT A TIME WHEN MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE LOOKING FOR WORK. IT'S INEXCUSABLE. AND WE KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. JACKIE BREAK IS A SINGLE MOM FROM NORTH CAROLINA WHO WAS LAID OFF FROM HER JOB AS A MECHANIC. BEN SEMENS OPENED A GAS TURBINE FACTORY IN CHARLOTTE AND FORMED A PARTNERSHIP WITH CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE. THE COMPANY HELPED THE COLLEGE DESIGN COURSES IN LASER AND ROBOTICS TRAINING. IT PAID JACKIE'S TUITION, THEN HIRED HER TO HELP OPERATE THEIR PLANT. I WANT EVERY AMERICAN LOOKING FOR WORK TO HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY AS JACKIE DID. JOIN ME IN A NATIONAL COMMITMENT TO TRAIN TWO MILLION AMERICANS WITH SKILLS THAT WILL LEAD DIRECTLY TO A JOB. ( APPLAUSE ) MY ADMINISTRATION HAS ALREADY LINED UP MORE COMPANIES THAT WANT TO HELP. MODEL PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN BUSINESSES LIKE SEIMENS AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN PLACES LIKE CHARLOTTE AND ORLANDO AND LOUISVILLE ARE UP AND RUNNING. NOW YOU NEED TO GIVE MORE COMMUNITY COLLEGES THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO BECOME COMMUNITY CAREER CENTERS. PLACESPLACES THAT TEACH PEOPLE SKILLS THAT BUSINESSES ARE LOOKING FOR RIGHT NOW. FROM DATA MANAGEMENT TO HIGH-TECH MANUFACTURING. AND I WANT TO CUT THROUGH THE MAZE OF CONFUSING TRAINING PROGRAMES, SO FROM NOW ON PEOPLE LIKE JACKIE HAVE ONE PROGRAM, ONE WEB SITE, AND ONE PLACE TO GO FOR ALL THE INFORMATION AND HELP THAT THEY NEED. IT IS TIME TO TURN OUR UNEMPLOYMENT SYSTEM INTO A RE-EMPLOYMENT SYSTEM THAT PUTS PEOPLE TO WORK. ( APPLAUSE ) THESE REFORMS WILL HELP PEOPLE GET JOBS THAT ARE OPEN TODAY, BUT TO PREPARE FOR THE JOBS OF TOMORROW, OUR COMMITMENT TO SKILLS AND EDUCATION HAS TO START EARLIER. FOR LESS THAN 1% OF WHAT OUR NATION SPENDS ON EDUCATION EACH YEAR, WE'VE CONVINCED NEARLY EVERY STATE IN THE COUNTRY TO RAISE THEIR STANDARDS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING, THE FIRST TIME THAT'S HAPPENED IN A GENERATION, BUT CHALLENGES REMAIN. AND WE KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THEM. AT A TIME WHEN OTHER COUNTRIES ARE DOUBLING DOWN ON EDUCATION, TIGHT BUDGETS ENFORCE STATES TO LAY OFF THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS. WE KNOW A GOOD TEACHER CAN INCREASE THE LIFETIME INCOME OF A CLASSROOM BY OVER $250,000. A GREAT TEACHER CAN OFFER AN ESCAPE FROM POVERTY TO THE CHILD WHO DREAMS BEYOND HIS CIRCUMSTANCE. EVERY PERSON IN THIS CHAMBER CAN POINT TO A TEACHER WHO CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF THEIR LIVES. MOST TEACHERS WORK TIRELESSLY WITH MODEST PAY, SOMETIMES DIGGING INTO THEIR OWN POCKET FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES, JUST TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. TEACHERS MATTER, SO INSTEAD OF BASHING THEM OR DEFENDING THE STATUS QUO, LET'S OFFER SCHOOLS A DEAL-- GIVE THEM THE RESOURCES TO KEEP GOOD TEACHERS ON THE JOB AND REWARD THE BEST ONES. ( APPLAUSE ) AND IN RETURN, GRANT SCHOOLS FLEXIBILITY TO TEACH WITH CREATIVITY AND PASSION, TO STOP TEACHING TO THE TEST, AND TO REPLACE TEACHERS WHO JUST AREN'T HELPING KIDS LEARN. THAT'S A BARGAIN WORTH MAKING WE ALSO KNOW THAT WHEN STUDENTS DON'T WALK AWAY FROM THEIR EDUCATION, MORE OF THEM WALK THE STAGE TO GET THEIR DIPLOMA. WHEN STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DROP OUT, THEY DO BETTER. SO TONIGHT, I AM PROPOSING THAT EVERY STATE, EVERY STATE REQUIRES THAT ALL STUDENTS STAY IN HIGH SCHOOL UNTIL THEY GRADUATE OR TURN 18. ( APPLAUSE ) WHEN KIDS DO GRADUATE, THE MOST DAUNTING CHALLENGE CAN BE THE COST OF COLLEGE. AT A TIME WHEN AMERICANS OWE MORE IN TUITION DEBT THAN CREDIT CARD DEBT, THIS CONGRESS NEEDS TO STOP THE INTEREST RATES ON STUDENT LOANS FROM DOUBLING IN JULY ( APPLAUSE ) EXTEND THE TUITION TAX CREDIT WE STARTED THAT SAVES MILLIONS OF MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. AND GIVE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE THE CHANCE TO EARN THEIR WAY THROUGH COLLEGE BY DOUBLING THE NUMBER OF WORK-STUDY JOBS IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. ( APPLAUSE ) OF COURSE, IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR US TO INCREASE STUDENT AID. WE CAN'T JUST KEEP SUBSIDIZING SKYROCKETING TUITION. WE'LL RUN OUT OF MONEY. STATES ALSO NEED TO DO THEIR PART BY MAKING HIGHER EDUCATION A HIGHER PRIORITY IN THEIR BUDGETS, AND COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES HAVE TO DO THEIR PART BY WORKING TO KEEP COSTS DOWN. RECENTLY, I SPOKE WITH A GROUP OF COLLEGE PRESIDENTS WHO HAVE DONE JUST THAT. SOME SCHOOLS REDESIGN COURSES TO HELP STUDENTS FINISH MORE QUICKLY. SOME USE BETTER TECHNOLOGY. THE POINT IS IT'S POSSIBLE. SO LET ME PUT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ON NOTICE-- IF YOU CAN'T STOP TUITION FROM GOING UP, THE FUNDING YOU GET FROM TAXPAYERS WILL GO DOWN. HIGHER EDUCATION CAN'T BE A LUXURY. IT IS AN ECONOMIC IMPERATIVE THAT EVERY FAMILY IN AMERICA SHOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD. LET'S ALSO REMEMBER THAT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TALENTED, HARDWORKING STUDENTS IN THIS COUNTRY FACE ANOTHER CHALLENGE, THE FACT THAT THEY AREN'T YET AMERICAN CITIZENS. MANY WERE BROUGHT HERE AS SMALL CHILDREN, ARE AMERICAN THROUGH AND THROUGH, YET THEY LIVE EVERY DAY WITH THE THREAT OF DEPORTATION. OTHERS CAME MORE RECENTLY TO STUDY BUSINESS AND SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, BUT AS SOON AS THEY GET THEIR DEGREE, WE SEND THEM HOME TO INVENT NEW PRODUCTS AND CREATE NEW JOBS SOMEWHERE ELSE. THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I BELIEVE AS STRONGLY AS EVER THAT WE SHOULD TAKE ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. THAT'S WHY MY ADMINISTRATION HAS PUT MORE BOOTS ON THE BORDER THAN EVER BEFORE. THAT'S WHY THERE ARE FEWER ILLEGAL CROSSINGS THAN WHEN I TOOK OFFICE. THE OPPONENTS OF ACTION ARE OUT OF EXCUSES. WE SHOULD BE WORKING ON COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM RIGHT NOW. ( APPLAUSE ) BUT IF ELECTION YEAR POLITICS KEEPS CONGRESS FROM ACTING ON A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, LET'S AT LEAST AGREE TO STOP EXPELLING RESPONSIBLE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WANT TO STAFF OUR LABS, START NEW BUSINESSES, DEFEND THIS COUNTRY. SEND ME A LAW THAT GIVES THEM THE CHANCE TO EARN THEIR CITIZENSHIP. I WILL SIGN IT RIGHT AWAY. ( APPLAUSE ) YOU SEE, AN ECONOMY BUILT TO LAST IS ONE WHERE WE ENCOURAGE THE TALENT AND INGENUITY OF EVERY PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY. THAT MEANS WOMEN SHOULD EARN EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK. ( APPLAUSE ) IT MEANS WE SHOULD SUPPORT EVERYONE WHO IS WILLING TO WORK, AND EVERY RISK TAKER AND ENTREPRENEUR WHO ASPIRING TO BECOME THE NEXT STEVE JOBS. AFTER ALL, INNOVATION IS WHAT AMERICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT. MOST NEW JOBS ARE CREATED IN START-UPS AND SMALL BUSINESSES, SO LET'S PASS AN AGENDA THAT HELPS THEM SUCCEED. TEAR DOWN REGULATIONS THAT PREVENT ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS FROM GETTING THE FINANCING TO GROW. EXPAND TAX RELIEF TO SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE RAISING WAGES AND CREATING GOOD JOBS. BOTH PARTIES AGREE ON THESE IDEAS, SO PUT THEM IN A BILL AND GET IT ON MY DESK THIS YEAR. ( APPLAUSE ) INNOVATION ALSO DEMANDS BASIC RESEARCH. TODAY, THE DISCOVERIES TAKING PLACE IN OUR FEDERALLY FINANCED LABS AND UNIVERSITIES COULD LEAD TO NEW TREATMENTS THAT KILL CANCER CELLS BUT LEAVE HEALTHY ONES UNTOUCHED, NEW LIGHT-WEIGHT VESTS FOR COPS AND SOLDIERS THAT CAN STOP ANY BULLET. DON'T GUT THESE INVESTMENTS THIS OUR BUDGET. DON'T LET OTHER COUNTRIES WIN THE RACE FOR THE FUTURE. SUPPORT THE SAME KIND OF RESEARCH AND INNOVATION THAT LED TO THE COMPUTER CHIP AND THE INTERNET, TO NEW AMERICAN JOBS AND NEW AMERICAN INDUSTRIES. AND NOWHERE IS THE PROMISE OF INNOVATION GREATER THAN IN AMERICAN-MADE ENERGY. OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, WE'VE OPENED MILLIONS OF NEW ACRES FOR OIL AND GAS EXLORRATION, AND TONIGHT I'M DIRECTING MY ADMINISTRATION TO OPEN MORE THAN 75% OF OUR POTENTIAL OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS RESOURCES. ( APPLAUSE ) RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW, AMERICAN OIL PRODUCTION IS THE HIGHEST THAT IT'S BEEN IN EIGHT YEARS. THAT'S RIGHT. EIGHT YEARS. NOT ONLY THAT. LAST YEAR, WE RELIED LESS ON FOREIGN OIL THAN IN ANY OF THE PAST 16 YEARS. ( APPLAUSE ) BUT WITH ONLY 2% OF THE WORLD'S OIL RESERVES, OIL ISN'T ENOUGH. THIS COUNTRY NEEDS AN ALL-OUT, ALL-OF-THE-ABOVE STRATEGY THAT DEVELOPS EVERY AVAILABLE SOURCE OF AMERICAN ENERGY. ( APPLAUSE ) A STRATEGY THAT'S CLEANER, CHEAPER, AND FULL OF NEW JOBS. WE HAVE A SUPPLY OF NATURAL GAS THAT CAN LAST AMERICA NEARLY 100 YEARS. ( APPLAUSE ) AND MY ADMINISTRATION WILL TAKE EVERY POSSIBLE ACTION TO SAFELY DEVELOP THIS ENERGY. THE EXPERTS BELIEVE THIS WILL SUPPORT MORE THAN 600,000 JOBS BY THE END OF THE DECADE. AND I'M REQUIRING ALL COMPANIES THAT DRILL FOR GAS ON PUBLIC LANDS TO DISCLOSE THE CHEMICALS THEY USE BECAUSE AMERICA WILL DEVELOP THIS RESOURCE WITHOUT PUTTING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR CITIZENS AT RISK. THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL GAS WILL CREATE JOBS AND POWER TRUCKS AND FACTORIES THAT ARE CLEANER AND CHEAPER, PROVING THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN OUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR ECONOMY. ( APPLAUSE ) AND BY THE WAY, IT WAS PUBLIC RESEARCH DOLLARS OVER THE COURSE OF 30 YEARS THAT HELPED DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGIES TO EXTRACT ALL THIS NATURAL GAS OUT OF SHALE ROCK. REMINDING US THAT GOVERNMENT SUPPORT IS CRITICAL IN HELPING BUSINESSES GET NEW ENERGY IDEAS OFF THE GROUND. ( APPLAUSE ) NOW, WHAT'S TRUE FOR NATURAL GAS IS JUST AS TRUE FOR CLEAN ENERGY. IN THREE YEARS, OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR HAS ALREADY POSITIONED AMERICA TO BE THE WORLD'S LEADING MANUFACTURER OF HIGH-TECH BATTERIES. BECAUSE OF FEDERAL INVESTMENTS, RENEWABLE ENERGY USE HAS NEARLY DOUBLED, AND THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS HAVE JOBS BECAUSE OF IT. WHEN BRIAN RITTERBE WAS LAID OFF FROM HIS JOB MAKING FURNITURE, HE SAID HE WORRIED THAT AT 55, NO ONE WOULD GIVE HIM A SECOND CHANCE. BUT HE FOUND WORK AT ENERGETICS, THE WIND TURBINE MANUFACTURER IN MICHIGAN. BEFORE THE RECESSION, THE FACTORY ONLY MADE LUXURY YACHTS. TODAY, IT'S HIRING WORKERS LIKE BRIAN WHO SAID, "I'M PROUD TO BE WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY OF THE FUTURE." OUR EXPERIENCE WITH SHALE GAS, OUR EXPERIENCE WITH NATURAL GAS SHOWS US THAT THE PAYOFFS ON THESE PUBLIC INVESTMENTS DON'T ALWAYS COME RIGHT AWAY. SOME TECHNOLOGIES DON'T PAN OUT. SOME COMPANIES FAIL. BUT I WILL NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE PROMISE OF CLEAN ENERGY. ( APPLAUSE ) I WILL NOT WALK AWAY FROM WORKERS LIKE BRIAN. I WILL NOT CEDE THE WIND OR SOLAR OR BATTERY INDUSTRY TO CHINA OR GERMANY BECAUSE WE REFUSE TO MAKE THE SAME COMMITMENT HERE. WE'VE SUBSIDIZED OIL COMPANIES FOR A CENTURY. THAT'S LONG ENOUGH. IT'S TIME TO END THE TAXPAYER GIVEAWAYS TO AN INDUSTRY THAT RARELY HAS BEEN MORE PROFITABLE AND DOUBLE DOWNED ON A CLEAN ENERGY INDUSTRY THAT NEVER HAS BEEN MORE PROMISING. PASS CLEAN ENERGY TAX CREDITS. CREATE THESE JOBS WE CAN ALSO SPUR ENERGY INNOVATION WITH NEW INCENTIVES. THE DIFFERENCES IN THIS CHAMBER MAY BE TOO DEEP RIGHT NOW TO PASS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE. BUT THERE'S NO REASON WHY CONGRESS SHOULDN'T AT LEAST SET A CLEAN ENERGY STANDARD THAT CREATES A MARKET FOR INNOVATION. SO FAR, YOU HAVEN'T ACTED. WELL, TONIGHT, I WILL. ( APPLAUSE ) I'M DIRECTING MY ADMINISTRATION TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLEAN ENERGY ON ENOUGH PUBLIC LAND TO POWER THREE MILLION HOMES. AND I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, WORKING WITH US, THE WORLD'S LARGEST CONSUMER OF ENERGY, WILL MAKE ONE OF THE LARGEST COMMITMENTS TO CLEAN ENERGY IN HISTORY. WITH THE NAVY PURCHASING ENOUGH CAPACITY TO POWER A QUARTER OF A MILLION HOMES A YEAR. ( APPLAUSE ) OF COURSE, THE EASIEST WAY TO SAVE MONEY IS TO WASTE LESS ENERGY. SO HERE'S A PROPOSAL-- HELP MANUFACTURERS ELIMINATE ENERGY WASTE IN THEIR FACTORIES AND GIVE BUSINESSES INCENTIVES TO UPGRADE THEIR BUILDINGS. THEIR ENERGY BILLS WILL BE $100 BILLION LOWER OVER THE NEXT DECADE, AND AMERICA WILL HAVE LESS POLLUTION, MORE MANUFACTURING, MORE JOBS FOR CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WHO NEED IT. ( APPLAUSE ) SEND ME A BILL THAT CREATES THESE JOBS. ( APPLAUSE ) BUILDING THIS NEW ENERGY FUTURE SHOULD BE JUST ONE PART OF A BROADER AGENDA TO REPAIR AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE. SO MUCH OF AMERICA NEEDS TO BE REBUILT. WE'VE GOT CRUMBLING ROADS AND BRIDGES, A POWER GRID THAT WASTES TOO MUCH ENERGY, AN INCOMPLETE HIGH-SPEED PRODBAND NETWORKS THAT PREVENTS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IN RURAL AMERICA FROM SELLING HER PRODUCTS ALL OVER THE WORLD. DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION, AMERICA BUILT THE HOOVER DAM, AND THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. AFTER WORLD WAR II, WE CONNECTED OUR STATES WITH A SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS. DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATIONS INVESTED IN GREAT PROJECTS THAT BENEFITTED EVERYBODY FROM THE WORKERS WHO BUILT THEM TO THE BUSINESSES THAT STILL USE THEM TODAY. IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, I WILL SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER CLEARING AWAY THE RED TAPE THAT SLOWS DOWN TOO MANY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. BUT YOU NEED TO FUND THESE PROJECTS. TAKE THE MONEY WE'RE NO LONGER SPENDING AT WAR, USE HALF OF IT TO PAY DOWN OUR DEBT, AND USE THE REST TO DO SOME NATION BUILDING RIGHT HERE AT HOME. ( APPLAUSE ) THERE'S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO BUILD, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST HIT WHEN THE HOUSING BUBBLE BURST. OF COURSE, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES WHO WERE HURT. SO WERE MILLIONS OF INNOCENT AMERICANS WHO HAVE SEEN THEIR HOME VALUES DECLINE, AND WHILE GOVERNMENT CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM ON ITS OWN, RESPONSIBLE HOMEOWNERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR THE HOUSING MARKET TO HIT BOTTOM TO GET SOME RELIEF. ( APPLAUSE ) AND THAT'S WHY I'M SENDING THIS CONGRESS A PLAN THAT GIVES EVERY RESPONSIBLE HOMEOWNER THE CHANCE TO SAVE ABOUT $3,000 A YEAR ON THEIR MORTGAGE BY REFINANCING AT HISTORICALLY LOW RATES. NO MORE RED TAPE. NO MORE RUNAROUND FROM THE BANKS. A SMALL FEE ON THE LARGEST FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS WILL ENSURE THAT IT WON'T ADD TO THE DEFICITS, AND WE'LL GIVE THOSE BANKS THAT WERE RESCUED BY TAXPAYERS A CHANCE TO REPAY A DEFICIT OF TRUST. ( APPLAUSE ) LET'S NEVER FORGET, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO WORK HARD AND PLAY BY THE RULES EVERY DAY DESERVE A GOVERNMENT AND A FINANCIAL SYSTEM THAT DO THE SAME. IT'S TIME TO APPLY THE SAME RULES FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. NO BAILOUTES, NO HANDOUTS AND NO COP-OUTS. AN AMERICA BUILT TO LAST INSISTS ON RESPONSIBILITY FROM EVERYBODY. WE'VE ALL PAID THE PRICE FOR LENDERS WHO SOLD MORTGAGES TO PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T AFFORD THEM. AND BUYERS WHO KNEW THEY COULDN'T AFFORD THEM. THAT'S WHY WE NEED SMART REGULATIONS TO PREVENT IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR. ( APPLAUSE ) RULES TO PREVENT FINANCIAL FRAUD OR TOXIC DUMPING OR FAULTY MEDICAL DEVICES. THESE DON'T DESTROY THE FREE MARKET. THEY MAKE THE FREE MARKET WORK BETTER. THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT SOME REGULATIONS ARE OUTDATED, UNNECESSARY, OR TOO COSTLY. IN FACT, I HAVE APPROVED FEWER REGULATIONS IN THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF MY PRESIDENCY THAN MY REPUBLICAN PREDECESSOR DID IN HIS. ( APPLAUSE ) I'VE ORDERED EVERY FEDERAL AGENCY TO ELIMINATE RULES THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE. WE'VE ALREADY ANNOUNCED OVER 500 REFORMS, AND JUST A FRACTION OF THEM WILL SAVE BUSINESS AND CITIZENS MORE THAN $10 BILLION OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. WE GOT RID OF ONE RULE FROM 40 YEARS AGO THAT COULD HAVE FORTHED SOME DAIRY FARMERS TO SPEND $10,000 A YEAR PROVING THAT THEY COULD CONTAIN A SPILL BECAUSE MILK WAS SOMEHOW CLASSIFIED AS AN OIL. WITH A RULE LIKE THAT, I GUESS IT WAS WORTH CRYING OVER SPILLED MILK. ( APPLAUSE ) NOW, I'M CONFIDENT A FARM ORER CAN CONTAIN A MILK SPILL WITHOUT A FEDERAL AGENCY LOOKING OVER HIS SHOULDER. ABSOLUTELY. BUT I WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM MAKING SURE AN OIL COMPANY CAN CONTAIN THE KIND OF OIL SPILL WE SAW IN THE GULF TWO YEARS AGO. ( APPLAUSE ) I WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM PROTECTING OUR KIDS FROM MERCURY POISONING OR MAKING SURE THAT OUR FOOD IS SAFE. AND OUR WATER IS CLEAN. I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES HAD UNCHECKED POWER TO CANCEL YOUR POLICY, DENY YOUR COVERAGE, OR CHARGE WOMEN DIFFERENTLY THAN MEN. ( APPLAUSE ) AND I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN WALL STREET WAS ALLOWED TO PLAY BY ITS OWN SET OF RULES. THE NEW RULES WE PASSED RESTORE WHAT SHOULD BE ANY FINANCIAL SYSTEM'S CORE PURPOSE-- GETTING FUNDING TO ENTREPRENEURS WITH THE BEST IDEAS AND GETTING LOANS TO RESPONSIBLE FAMILIES WHO WANT TO BUY A HOME OR START A BUSINESS OR SEND THEIR KIDS TO COLLEGE. SO IF YOU ARE A BIG BANK OR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, YOU'RE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO MAKE RISKY BETS WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS' DEPOSITS. YOU'RE REQUIRED TO WRITE OUT A LIVING WILL THAT DETAILS EXACTLY HOW YOU'LL PAY THE BILLS IF YOU FAIL BECAUSE THE REST OF US ARE NOT BAILING YOU OUT EVER AGAIN. ( APPLAUSE ) AND IF YOU'RE A MORTGAGE LENDER OR A PAYDAY LENDER OR A CREDIT CARD COMPANY, THE DAYS OF SIGNING PEOPLE UP FOR PRODUCTS THEY CAN'T AFFORD WITH CONFUSING FORMS AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES, THOSE DAYS ARE OVER. TODAY, AMERICAN CONSUMERS FINALLY HAVE A WATCHDOG IN RICHARD CORDRE, WITH ONE JOB-- TO LOOK OUT FOR THEM. ( APPLAUSE ) WE'LL ALSO ESTABLISH A FINANCIAL CRIMES UNIT OF HIGHLY TRAINED INVESTIGATORS TO CRACK DOWN ON LARGE-SCALE FRAUD AND PROTECT PEOPLE'S INVESTMENTS. SOME FINANCIAL FIRMS VIOLATE ANTI-MAJOR FRAUD LAWS BECAUSE THERE'S NO REAL PENALTY FOR BEING A REPEAT OFFENDER. THAT'S BAD FOR CONSUMERS AND IT'S BAD FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF BANKERS AND FINANCIAL SERVICE PROFESSIONALS WHO DO THE RIGHT THING. SO PASS LEGISLATION THAT MAKES THE PENALTIES FOR FRAUD COUNT. AND TONIGHT, I'M ASKING MY ATTORNEY GENERAL TO CREATE A SPECIAL UNIT OF FEDERAL PROSECUTORS AND LEADING STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL TO EXPAND OUR INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE ABUSE OF LENDING AND PACKAGING OF RISKY MORTGAGES THAT LED TO THE HOUSING CRISIS. THIS NEW UNIT WILL HOLD ACCOUNTABLE THOSE WHO BROKE THE LAW, SPEAKER SIFTANCE TO HOMEOWNERS, AND HELP TURN THE PAGE ON THE ERA OF RECKLESSNESS THAT HURT SO MANY AMERICANS. NOW, A RETURN TO THE AMERICAN VALUES OF FAIR PLAY AND SHARED RESPONSIBILITY WILL HELP PROTECT OUR PEOPLE AND OUR ECONOMY. BUT IT SHOULD ALSO GUIDE US AS WE LOOK TO PAY DOWN OUR DEBT AND VEST IN OUR FUTURE. RIGHT NOW OUR MOST IMMEDIATE PRIORITY IS STOPPING A TAX HIKE ON 160 MILLION WORKING AMERICANS WHILE THE RECOVERY IS STILL FRAGILE. ( APPLAUSE ) PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD LOSING $40 OUT OF EACH PAYCHECK THIS YEAR. THERE ARE PLENTY OF WAYS TO GET THIS DONE. SO LET'S AGREE RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW-- NO SIDE ISSUEES, NO DRAMA. PASS THE PAYROLL TAX CUT WITHOUT DELAY. ( APPLAUSE ) LET'S GET IT DONE. ( APPLAUSE ) WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEFICIT, WE'VE ALREADY AGREED TO MORE THAN $2 TRILLION IN CUTS AND SAVINGS. BUT WE NEED TO DO MORE. AND THAT MEANS MAKING CHOICES. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE POISED TO SPEND NEARLY $1 TRILLION MORE ON WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TEMPORARY TAX BREAK FOR THE WEALTHIEST 2% OF AMERICANS. RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE OF LOOPHOLES AND SHELTERS UNTIL THE TAX CODE, A QUARTER OF ALL MILLIONAIRES PAY LOWER TAX RATES THAN MILLIONS OF MIDDLE CLASS HOUSEHOLDS. RIGHT NOW, WARREN BUFFET PAYS A LOWER TAX RATE THAN HIS SECRETARY. DO WE WANT TO KEEP THESE TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHIEST AMERICANS, OR DO WE WANT TO KEEP OUR INVESTMENTS IN EVERYTHING ELSE, LIKE EDUCATION AND MEDICAL RESEARCH, A STRONG MILITARY, AND CARE FOR OUR VETERANS. BECAUSE IF WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT PAYING DOWN OUR DEBT, WE CAN'T DO BOTH. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT CHOICE IS. SO DO I. AS I TOLD THE SPEAKER THIS SUMMER, I'M PREPARED TO MAKE MORE REFORMS THAT REIGN IN THE LONG-TERM COSTES OF MEDICARE AND MEDICAID AND STRENGTHEN SOCIAL SECURITY, SO LONG AS THOSE PROGRAMS REMAIN A GUARANTEE OF SECURITY FOR SENIORS. BUT IN RETURN, WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR TAX CODES SO THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME AND AN AWFUL LOT OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS PAY OUR FAIR [/color]

[color=#000000]SHARE OF TAXES. ( APPLAUSE ) TAX REFORM SHOULD FOLLOW THE BUFFERET RULE-- IF YOU MAKE MORE THAN A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, YOU SHOULD NOT PAY LESS THAN 30% IN TAXES. AND MY REPUBLICAN FRIEND TOM COBURN IS RIGHT-- WASHINGTON SHOULD STOP SUBSIDIZING MILLIONAIRES. IN FACT, IF YOU'RE EARNING $1 MILLION A YEAR, YOU SHOULDN'T GET SPECIAL TAX SUBSIDIES OR DEDUCTIONS. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU MAKE UNDER $250,000 A YEAR, LIKE 98% OF AMERICAN FAMILIES, YOUR TAXES SHOULDN'T GO UP. YOU'RE THE ONES STRUGGLING. ( APPLAUSE ) WITH RISING COSTS AND STAGNANT WAGES. YOU ARE THE ONES WHO NEED RELIEF NOW, YOU CAN CALL THIS CLASS WARFARE ALL YOU WANT. BUT ASKING A BILLIONAIRE TO PAY AT LEAST AS MUCH AS HIS SECRETARY IN TAXES. MOST AMERICANS WOULD CALL THAT COMMON SENSE. WE DON'T BEGRUDGE FINANCIAL SUCCESS IN THIS COUNTRY. WE ADMIRE IT. WHEN AMERICANS TALK ABOUT FOLKS LIKE ME PAYING MY FAIR SHARE OF TAXES, IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY ENVY THE RICH. IT'S BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN I GET A TAX BREAK I DON'T NEED AND THE COUNTRY CAN'T AFFORD, IT EITHER ADDS TO THE DEFICIT OR SOMEBODY ELSE HAS TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE, LIKE A SENIOR ON A FIXED INCOME OR A STUDENT TRYING TO GET THROUGH SCHOOL OR A FAMILY TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET. THAT'S NOT RIGHT. AMERICANS KNOW THAT'S NOT RIGHT. THEY KNOW THAT THIS GENERATION'S SUCCESS IS ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE PAST GENERATIONS FELT A RESPONSIBILITY TO EACH OTHER. AND TO THE FUTURE OF THEIR COUNTRY. AND THEY KNOW OUR WAY OF LIFE WILL ONLY ENDURE IF WE FEEL THAT SAME SENSE OF SHARED RESPONSIBILITY. THAT'S HOW WE'LL REDUCE OUR DEFICIT. THAT'S AN AMERICA BUILT TO LAST. ( APPLAUSE ) NOW, I RECOGNIZE THE PEOPLE WATCHING TONIGHT HAVE DIFFERING VIEWS ABOUT TAXES AND DEBT, ENERGY, HEALTH CARE, BUT NO MATTER WHAT PARTY THEY BELONG TO, I BET MOST AMERICANS ARE THINKING THE SAME THING RIGHT ABOUT NOW-- NOTHING WILL GET DONE IN WASHINGTON THIS YEAR. OR NEXT YEAR. OR MAYBE EVEN THE YEAR AFTER THAT. BECAUSE WASHINGTON IS BROKEN. CAN YOU BLAME THEM FOR FEELING A LITTLE CYNICAL? THE GREATEST BLOW TO OUR CONFIDENCE IN OUR ECONOMY LAST YEAR DIDN'T COME FROM EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. IT CAME FROM A DEBATE IN WASHINGTON OVER WHETHER THE UNITED STATES WOULD PAY ITS BILLS OR NOT.[/color]
