Meanwhile, since you probably won't want to be confronted by the facts, I'll do it for you, although I'm not sure I'll do all ten:
Thanks to the tax cuts we passed, Americans' paychecks are a little bigger today. Every business can write off the full cost of new investments that they make this year. And these steps, taken by Democrats and Republicans, will grow the economy and add to the more than 1 million private sector jobs created last year.
We know what it takes to compete for the jobs and industries of our time. We need to out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world.
The first step in winning the future is encouraging American innovation. ...We'll invest in biomedical research, information technology and especially clean energy technology an investment that will strengthen our security, protect our planet and create countless new jobs for our people...And to help pay for it, I'm asking Congress to eliminate the billions in taxpayer dollars we currently give to oil companies.
But if we want to win the future — if we want innovation to produce jobs in America and not overseas — then we also have to win the race to educate our kids...We need to teach our kids that it's not just the winner of the Super Bowl who deserves to be celebrated, but the winner of the science fair...To all 50 states, we said, "If you show us the most innovative plans to improve teacher quality and student achievement, we'll show you the money." ...For less than 1 percent of what we spend on education each year, it has led over 40 states to raise their standards for teaching and learning...In South Korea, teachers are known as "nation builders." Here in America, it's time we treated the people who educate our children with the same level of respect...We want to reward good teachers and stop making excuses for bad ones...That's why we've ended the unwarranted taxpayer subsidies that went to banks and used the savings to make college affordable for millions of students. And this year, I ask Congress to go further and make permanent our tuition tax credit — worth $10,000 for four years of college. It's the right thing to do...
Now, I strongly believe that we should take on, once and for all, the issue of illegal immigration. And I am prepared to work with Republicans and Democrats to protect our borders, enforce our laws and address the millions of undocumented workers who are now living in the shadows.
To attract new businesses to our shores, we need the fastest, most reliable ways to move people, goods, and information — from high-speed rail to high-speed Internet...We'll put more Americans to work repairing crumbling roads and bridges. We'll make sure this is fully paid for, attract private investment and pick projects based (on) what's best for the economy, not politicians...Within the next five years, we'll make it possible for businesses to deploy the next generation of high-speed wireless coverage to 98 percent of all Americans...
I'm asking Democrats and Republicans to simplify the (tax) system. Get rid of the loopholes. Level the playing field. And use the savings to lower the corporate tax rate for the first time in 25 years — without adding to our deficit. It can be done.
To help businesses sell more products abroad, we set a goal of doubling our exports by 2014 — because the more we export, the more jobs we create here at home...Recently, we signed agreements with India and China that will support more than 250,000 jobs here in the United States. And last month, we finalized a trade agreement with South Korea that will support at least 70,000 American jobs...
You can read the rest yourself. And anyone who cannot explain them to you didn't listen.
