the econom_crisi we face is the worst sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

the stock_market plummet again yesterdai __PUNCT__ and million of american have open up their __NUM__ __PUNCT__ k __PUNCT__ statement to see that so much of their hard __PUNCT__ earn save have disappear __PUNCT__

the credit crisi ha left busi larg and small unabl to get loan __PUNCT__ which mean thei can't bui new equip __PUNCT__ or hire new worker __PUNCT__ or even make payrol for the worker thei have __PUNCT__

in household across the countri __PUNCT__ it get harder and harder to get a loan for that new car or that startup __PUNCT__ busi or that colleg you dream of attend __PUNCT__

thi morn __PUNCT__ we learn that wage ar lower than thei been in nearli a decad __PUNCT__

you pai more for everyth from ga to groceri __PUNCT__ but your paycheck have flat __PUNCT__ line __PUNCT__

i know these ar difficult_time __PUNCT__

i know folk ar worri __PUNCT__

but i believ that we can steer ourselv out of thi crisi becaus i believ in thi countri __PUNCT__

becaus thi is the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

thi is a nation that ha face down war and depress __PUNCT__ great_challeng and great threat __PUNCT__

the american stori ha never been about thing come easi __PUNCT__ it been about rise to the moment when the moment is hard __PUNCT__

america can meet thi moment __PUNCT__

we still have the most talent __PUNCT__ most product_worker of ani countri on earth __PUNCT__

we home to innov and technolog __PUNCT__ colleg and univers that ar the envi of the world __PUNCT__

some of the biggest idea in histori have come from our small_busi and research facil __PUNCT__

it won't be easi __PUNCT__ but there no reason we can't make thi centuri anoth american_centuri __PUNCT__

but i also know thi __PUNCT__

it will take a new direct __PUNCT__

it will take new leadership in washington __PUNCT__

it will take a real chang in the polici and polit of the last eight year __PUNCT__

and that why i run for presid of the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

even as we face the most seriou econom_crisi of our time __PUNCT__ even as you ar worri about keep your job or pai your bill or stai in your home __PUNCT__ my oppon campaign announc earlier thi month that thei want to __PUNCT__ turn the page __PUNCT__ on the discuss about our economi so thei can spend the final_week of thi elect attack me instead __PUNCT__

senat_mccain mccain_campaign actual said __PUNCT__ and i quot __PUNCT__ if we keep talk about the economi __PUNCT__ we go to lose __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ new hampshir __PUNCT__ last night we had a debat __PUNCT__

i think you saw a bit of the mccain attack strategi in action __PUNCT__

but here what senat_mccain doesn't seem to understand __PUNCT__

with the economi in turmoil and the american_dream at risk __PUNCT__ the american_peopl don't want to hear politician attack each other __PUNCT__ you want to hear about how we go to attack the challeng_face middl_class class_famili each and everi dai __PUNCT__

you want to hear about the issu that matter in your live __PUNCT__

you want to hear about how we go to bring about the chang that we desper need for our countri __PUNCT__

that what the american_peopl want to hear __PUNCT__

so let debat our genuin differ on the issu that matter __PUNCT__

last night __PUNCT__ senat_mccain said that georg_bush won't be on the ballot thi __DATE__ __PUNCT__

but let be clear __PUNCT__ hi polici will __PUNCT__

becaus in three debat and over twenti month __PUNCT__ john_mccain hasn't explain a singl thing that he would do differ from georg_bush when it come to the most import econom_issu we face_todai __PUNCT__

not on __PUNCT__

here the truth __PUNCT__ new hampshir __PUNCT__

john_mccain vote with georg_bush bush___NUM__ percent of the time __PUNCT__

that not chang __PUNCT__ it just more of the same __PUNCT__

he want to keep give tax_cut to corpor that ship your job_oversea __PUNCT__

i want to give tax_break to compani that creat_job right here in america __PUNCT__

he want to give more tax_cut to fortun___NUM__ ceo __PUNCT__

i want to give __NUM__ percent of work_american the tax_relief thei deserv __PUNCT__

he want to doubl down on a health_care_polici that onli work for the healthi and the wealthi __PUNCT__

i want to cut_cost and expand coverag for all american __PUNCT__

he want an energi_polici that give billion to the oil_compani __PUNCT__ an educ_polici that leav our children behind __PUNCT__ and a war in iraq that cost us __MONEY___billion a month while the iraqi_govern sit on a surplu __PUNCT__ a war that you and i know must end __PUNCT__

john_mccain think thi campaign is all about me __PUNCT__ but the truth is __PUNCT__ thi campaign is about you __PUNCT__

your job __PUNCT__

your health_care __PUNCT__

your retir __PUNCT__

your children futur __PUNCT__

that what thi elect is about __PUNCT__

that what i fight for __PUNCT__

becaus i can take __NUM__ more week of these attack from john_mccain __PUNCT__ but the american_peopl can't take four more year of the same fail polici and the same divis polit __PUNCT__

that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

it is time to turn the page on eight year of econom_polici that put wall_street befor main_street but end up hurt both __PUNCT__

we need polici that grow our economi from the bottom __PUNCT__ up __PUNCT__ so that everi american __PUNCT__ everywher __PUNCT__ ha the chanc to get ahead __PUNCT__

not just the person who own the factori __PUNCT__ but the men and women who work on it floor __PUNCT__

becaus if we learn anyth from thi econom_crisi __PUNCT__ it that we all connect __PUNCT__ we all in thi togeth __PUNCT__ and we will rise or fall as on nation __PUNCT__ as on peopl __PUNCT__

the rescu plan that pass the congress wa a necessari first step to eas thi credit crisi __PUNCT__

it also import that we continu to work with govern around the globe to confront what is truli a global_crisi __PUNCT__

but now we need a rescu plan for the middl_class __PUNCT__

if we go to rebuild thi economi from the bottom up __PUNCT__ it ha to start on main_street __PUNCT__ not just the big_bank on wall_street __PUNCT__

that why i outlin sever step that we have to take right now to help folk who ar struggl __PUNCT__

first __PUNCT__ we got to act now to creat good pai_job __PUNCT__

we alreadi lost three __PUNCT__ quarter of a million_job thi year __PUNCT__ and some expert sai unemploy mai rise to __NUM__ __PUNCT__ by the end of next year __PUNCT__

that why i propos a new american_job tax_credit for each new employe that compani hire here in the unit_state over the next two year __PUNCT__

that how we creat good __PUNCT__ new american_job __PUNCT__

second __PUNCT__ we need to help small_busi get back on their feet __PUNCT__

to fuel the real engin of job_creation in thi countri __PUNCT__ i elimin all capit_gain gain_tax on invest in small_busi and start __PUNCT__ up compani __PUNCT__ and provid an addit tax_incent through next year to encourag new small_busi invest __PUNCT__

and we also need to make sure that small busi can access the immedi loan thei need to pai their worker and financ their inventori __PUNCT__

third __PUNCT__ we need to provid relief for homeown who ar watch their home valu declin while properti_tax go up __PUNCT__

the treasuri must us the author it been grant and move aggress to help peopl avoid foreclosur and stai in their home __PUNCT__

we don't need a new law or a new __MONEY___billion giveawai to bank like senat_mccain ha propos __PUNCT__

we just need to act quickli and decis __PUNCT__

for those respons homeown in danger of lose their home __PUNCT__ i propos a three __PUNCT__ month moratorium on foreclosur so that we give peopl the breath room thei need to get back on their feet __PUNCT__

final __PUNCT__ we got to help state and local_govern that have been squeez __PUNCT__

thi is a part of thi crisi that hasn't gotten enough attent __PUNCT__

if washington keep push the burden on to state and citi and town __PUNCT__ you might be forc to rais new revenu through cut in servic or increas in tax __PUNCT__

todai __PUNCT__ twenti __PUNCT__ on state ar face budget short __PUNCT__ fall __PUNCT__ includ new hampshir __PUNCT__

but the last thing we should be do when famili ar struggl is forc state and town to choos between get rid of essenti program or rais properti_tax __PUNCT__

you got a great governor here in john lynch __PUNCT__

what he need is a strong partner in the white_hous __PUNCT__ and that what i be if i am presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

last __DATE__ __PUNCT__ i call for a __MONEY___billion fund to help state and local_govern avoid properti_tax tax_increas __PUNCT__

if we had act two month_ago __PUNCT__ new hampshir would have gotten the relief you need __PUNCT__

we cannot afford to wait ani longer __PUNCT__

we need thi fund to help new hampshir and state across the countri pai for health_care and educ __PUNCT__ polic and firefight __PUNCT__ without resort to tax or fee increas __PUNCT__

we will also save on million_job by creat a job and growth fund that will provid monei to state and local_commun so thei can move_forward with project that put_peopl to work rebuild and repair our road __PUNCT__ our bridg __PUNCT__ and our school __PUNCT__

we also need a new lend facil that reach out to state and local __PUNCT__ we can't extend a hand to bank on wall_street without reach out to main_street so state can make payrol and deliv servic __PUNCT__

you need leadership in washington that look out for you __PUNCT__ for the servic you count on __PUNCT__ for the job that our economi need __PUNCT__ for the chang that will help the middl_class __PUNCT__

that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

these ar the step that we must take __PUNCT__ right now __PUNCT__ to begin to get our economi back on track __PUNCT__

but we also need a new set of prioriti __PUNCT__

bottom __PUNCT__ up growth depend on a tax_code that doesn't just work for the folk at the top __PUNCT__

you heard a lot about tax in thi campaign __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ here the truth __PUNCT__ my oppon and i ar both offer tax_cut __PUNCT__

the differ is __PUNCT__ he want to give __MONEY___billion in tax_cut to the biggest corpor in america __PUNCT__ and he want to give the averag fortun___NUM__ ceo a __MONEY__ tax_cut __PUNCT__

but he give noth at all to over __NUM___million_american __PUNCT__

i have a differ set of prioriti __PUNCT__

i give a middl __PUNCT__ class tax_cut to __NUM__ __PUNCT__ of all worker __PUNCT__

and if you make less than __MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__ which includ___NUM__ percent of small_busi busi_owner __PUNCT__ you won't see your tax_increas on singl dime __PUNCT__

not your payrol_tax __PUNCT__ not your incom_tax __PUNCT__ not your capit_gain gain_tax __PUNCT__ noth __PUNCT__

becaus in an economi like thi __PUNCT__ the last thing we should do is rais_tax on the middl __PUNCT__ class __PUNCT__

we know that it time to creat the good __PUNCT__ pai_job of tomorrow __PUNCT__

that why i go to stop give tax_break to compani that ship job_oversea __PUNCT__ and start rebuild the middl_class by help compani creat_job here in america __PUNCT__

if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will invest __MONEY___billion a year in renew_sourc of energi to creat five million new __PUNCT__ green_job over the next decad __PUNCT__ job that pai well and can't be outsourc __PUNCT__ job build solar_panel and wind_turbin and fuel __PUNCT__ effici car __PUNCT__ job that will help us end our depend on oil from middl_east dictat __PUNCT__

i also put two million more american to work rebuild our crumbl road __PUNCT__ school __PUNCT__ and bridg __PUNCT__ becaus it is time to build an american infrastructur for the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__

and if peopl ask how we go to pai for thi __PUNCT__ you tell them that if we can spend___MONEY___billion a month in iraq __PUNCT__ we can spend some monei to rebuild america __PUNCT__

if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will final fix our broken health_care_system __PUNCT__

thi issu is person for me __PUNCT__

my mother di of ovarian cancer at the ag of __NUM__ and i never forget how she spent the final month of her life ly in a hospit bed __PUNCT__ fight with her insur_compani becaus thei claim that her cancer wa a pre __PUNCT__ exist condit and didn't want to pai for treatment __PUNCT__

if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will make sure those insur compani can never do that again __PUNCT__

my health_care_plan will make sure insur_compani can't discrimin against those who ar sick and need care most __PUNCT__

if you have health_insur __PUNCT__ the onli thing that will chang under my plan is that we will lower premium __PUNCT__

and if you don't have health insur __PUNCT__ you be abl to get the same_kind of health_insur that member of congress get for themselv __PUNCT__

we invest in prevent_care and new technolog to final lower the cost of health_care for famili __PUNCT__ busi __PUNCT__ and the entir economi __PUNCT__

that the chang we need __PUNCT__

and we give everi child __PUNCT__ everywher the skill and the knowledg thei need to compet with ani worker __PUNCT__ anywher in the world __PUNCT__

i will not allow countri to out __PUNCT__ teach us todai so thei can out __PUNCT__ compet us tomorrow __PUNCT__

it is time to provid everi american with a world __PUNCT__ class educ __PUNCT__

that mean invest in earli_childhood childhood_educ __PUNCT__

that mean recruit an armi of new teacher __PUNCT__ and pai them better __PUNCT__ and give them more support in exchang for higher_standard and more account __PUNCT__

and it mean make a deal with everi american who ha the drive and the will but not the monei to go to colleg __PUNCT__

senat_mccain top econom advisor actual said the other dai that thei have no plan to invest in colleg afford becaus we can't have a giveawai to everi special_interest __PUNCT__

well i don't think the young_peopl of america ar a special_interest __PUNCT__ thei ar the futur of thi countri __PUNCT__

that why i make thi deal with you __PUNCT__ if you commit to serv your commun or your countri __PUNCT__ we will make sure you can afford your tuition __PUNCT__

you invest in america __PUNCT__ america will invest in you __PUNCT__ and togeth __PUNCT__ we will move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

final __PUNCT__ i will take on the corrupt in washington and on wall_street to make sure a crisi like thi can never __PUNCT__ ever happen again __PUNCT__

i put in place the common __PUNCT__ sens regul and rule of the road i been call for sinc march __PUNCT__ rule that will keep our market free __PUNCT__ fair __PUNCT__ and honest __PUNCT__ rule that will restor account and respons in our corpor boardroom __PUNCT__

and just as we demand_account on wall_street __PUNCT__ i will also demand it in washington __PUNCT__

that why i not go to stand here and simpli tell you what i go to spend __PUNCT__ i go to tell you how we go to save when i am presid __PUNCT__

i do what you do in your own famili budget and make sure we spend_monei wise __PUNCT__

i will go through the entir feder_budget __PUNCT__ page by page __PUNCT__ line by line __PUNCT__ and elimin program that don't work and aren't need __PUNCT__

we start by end a war in iraq that cost us nearli a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__

and we save billion more by cut wast __PUNCT__ improv manag __PUNCT__ and strengthen oversight __PUNCT__

these ar the chang and reform we need __PUNCT__

a new era of respons and account on wall_street and in washington __PUNCT__

common __PUNCT__ sens regul to prevent a crisi like thi from ever happen again __PUNCT__

invest in the technolog and innov that will restor prosper and lead to new job and a new economi for the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__

bottom __PUNCT__ up growth that give everi american a fair shot at the american_dream __PUNCT__

and abov all confid __PUNCT__ confid in america __PUNCT__ confid in our economi __PUNCT__ and confid in ourselv __PUNCT__

i won't pretend thi will be easi or come without cost __PUNCT__

we will all need to sacrific and we will all need to pull our weight becaus now more than ever __PUNCT__ we ar all in thi togeth __PUNCT__

thi countri and the dream it repres ar be test in a wai that we haven't seen in nearli a centuri __PUNCT__
