minutes without a question. what he wanted to talk about what a good job he s done. listen to this. over the last 18 months, and i say we prevented the second great depression which stablized the economy, an economy that was shrinking is now growing. we ve had nine months of consecutive private sector job growth. we have passedistoric health care reform, historic financial regulatory reform. s don t even know about. some what have you done that we don t know about? well are you planning a surprise party for us? jobs in heflt care! there are a lot of people i america who are worried about you don t know about. ok. because based on some things that we actually do know about, a lot of americans don t like that stuff so the idea there could be other stuff out there that americans don t know about
democratic and republican parts of the state, is true. what i say is we have $13 trillion of debt on the balance sheet and nothing to show for it. i say, we have not even had the decency to maintain the assets that our parents and grandparents built for us, roads, bridges, waste water systems, sewer systems. those weren t socialists who built those things for us, much less the infrastructure we need for the 21st century. it s not just transportation. zplt president acknowledged infrastructure spending has not been dealt with. transit transportation, transit, energy infrastructure as well. that stimulus package saved us from going into the second great depression, but that s hardly enough of a standard if what generations are to judge other generations, is if they left more opportunity not less for them. that s the point i m making. what seems to be the issue that s hanging out there is that most americans don t believe the stimulus has helped. you have been in lockstep with this

grandparents built for us, our roads, our bridges, our wastewater systems, sewer systems. by the way, those weren t bolshevicks, those weren t socialists who built those things for us, much less the infrastructure we need for the 21st century. it s not just transportation. the president acknowledged infrastructure spending has not been dealt with. transit transportation, transit, energy infrastructure as well. that stimulus package saved us from going into the second great depression, but that s hardly enough of a standard if what generations are to judge other generations is if they left more opportunity not less for them. that s the point i m making. what seems to be the issue that s hanging out there is that most americans don t believe the stimulus has helped. you have been in lockstep with this president. congressional quarterly says you voted with the president 97% of the time. in an editorial by the denver
this is true and voters know about it. and the president knows about it, too. maybe that s the october surprise, an extension of the bush tax cuts. well, you know, this president certainly isn t opposed to tax cuts, the stimulus actually included the broadest tax cut for working people in the history of this country. but i think if you want to talk about track records, which i think is what you are going to see over the next two months, you see a president who saved the country from falling off the edge, from falling into the second great depression. versus a party that has no new ideas and saw a lost decade where people weren t able to get ahead. i think voters when they hear mitch mcconnell out there talking about ideas that aren t very convincing, they remember why they voted out the republican party in 2006 and 2008. so these next two months are going to be pretty interesting. i think you will see corrected plans from the democrats. i hope you see some good plans from the republi
