1、【美国总统电台演说】2011-10-15Im here in Detroit visiting workers at a GM plant in the heart of a resurgent American auto industry. And I brought a guest with me President Lee of South Korea.Were here because this week, Congress passed landmark trade agreements with countries like Korea, and assistance for Am
2、erican workers that will be a big win for our economy.These trade agreements will support tens of thousands of American jobs. And well sell more Fords, Chevys 狩猎牌汽车 and Chryslers 克莱斯勒汽车 abroad stamped with three proud words “Made in America.”So it was good to see Congress act in a bipartisan 两党的 way
3、 on something that will help create jobs at a time when millions of Americans are still out of work and need them now.But thats also why it was so disappointing to see Senate Republicans obstruct the American Jobs Act, even though a majority of Senators voted “yes” to advance this jobs bill.We cant
4、afford this lack of action. And there is no reason for it. Independent economists say that this jobs bill would give the economy a jumpstart 安装实例 and lead to nearly two million new jobs. Every idea in that jobs bill is the kind of idea both parties have supported in the past.The majority of the Amer
5、ican people support the proposals in this jobs bill. And they want action from their elected leaders to create jobs and restore some security for the middle class right now. You deserve to see your hard work and responsibility rewarded and you certainly deserve to see it reflected in the folks you s
6、end to Washington.But rather than listen to you and put folks back to work, Republicans in the House spent the past couple days picking partisan 过分支持的，偏护的 ideological fights. Theyre seeing if they can roll back clean air and water protections. Theyre stirring up fights over a womans right to make he
7、r own health care choices. Theyre not focused on the concrete actions that will put people back to work right now.Well, were going to give them another chance. Were going to give them another chance to spend more time worrying about your jobs than keeping theirs.Next week, Im urging Members of Congr
8、ess to vote on putting hundreds of thousands of teachers back in the classroom, cops back on the streets, and firefighters back on the job.And if they vote “no” on that, theyll have to tell you why. Theyll have to tell you why teachers in your community dont deserve a paycheck again. Theyll have to
9、tell your kids why they dont deserve to have their teacher back. Theyll have to tell you why theyre against commonsense proposals that would help families and strengthen our communities right now and in the long term.In the coming weeks, well have them vote on the other parts of the jobs bill puttin
10、g construction workers back on the job, rebuilding our roads and bridges; providing tax cuts for small businesses that hire our veterans; making sure that middle-class families dont see a tax hike next year and that the unemployed and our out-of-work youth have a chance to get back in the workforce
11、and earn their piece of the American Dream.Thats whats at stake 在危急关头 . Putting people back to work. Restoring economic security for the middle class. Rebuilding an economy where hard work is valued and responsibility is rewarded an economy thats built to last. And Im going to travel all over the country over the next few weeks so that we can remind Congress thats the most important thing. Because theres still time to create jobs and grow our economy right now. Theres still time for Congress to do the right thing. We just need to act.Thanks.
