Good morning. Good morning. First, i want to thank these families for taking time out of your day to join us. Welcome, it is great to have you with us today. [applause] you are who this is all about. This plan is for the middleclass families in this country who deserve a break. It is for the families were out there living paycheck to paycheck who just keep getting squeezed. About half of the country today is living paycheck to paycheck and a lot more people are about one paycheck away from living paycheck to paycheck in this country and this will help give people relief.

That 1182 more covers about one years of gas for your car and covers your family phone bill for the year depending on how much data your kids use. [le
