2、ss builds on the progress weve made, fighting our way back from the worst economic recession of our lifetimes. The President underscored the need for Congress to end the logjam in Washington and act on his plan that strengthens the cornerstones of what it means to be middle class in America: a good

This week, I went down to an Amazon warehouse in Tennessee to t
4、alk more about what we need to do to secure a better bargain for the middle class to make sure that anyone who works hard can get ahead in the 21st century economy.Over the past four and a half years, weve fought our way back from the worst recession of our lifetimes and begun to lay a foundation fo
5、r stronger, more durable economic growth. Today, our businesses have created 7.3 million new jobs over the last 41 months. We now sell more products made in America to the rest of the world than ever before. Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years, and our deficits are falling
6、at the fastest rate in 60 years.But as any middle-class family will tell you, were not where we need to be yet. Even before the crisis hit, we were living through a decade where a few at the top were doing better and better, while most families were working harder and harder just to get by.Reversing
7、 this trend must be Washingtons highest priority. Its certainly mine. But too often over the past two years, Washington has taken its eye off the ball. Theyve allowed an endless parade of political posturing and phony scandals to distract from growing our economy and strengthening the middle class.T
8、hats why Im laying out my ideas for how we can build on the cornerstones of what it means to be middle class in America. A good education. A home of your own. Health care when you get sick. A secure retirement even if youre not rich. And the most important cornerstone of all: a good job in a durable
9、, growing industry.When it comes to creating more good jobs that pay decent wages, the problem is not a lack of ideas. Plenty of independent economists, business owners and people from both parties agree on what we have to do. I proposed many of these ideas two years ago in the American Jobs Act. An
10、d this week, I put forward common-sense proposals for how we can create more jobs in manufacturing; in wind, solar and natural gas; and by rebuilding Americas infrastructure.What were lacking is action from Washington. And thats why, in addition to proposing ideas that we know will grow our economy,
11、 Ive also put forward a strategy for breaking through the Washington logjam a “grand bargain” for the middle class.Im willing to work with Republicans to simplify our tax code for businesses large and small, but only if we take the money we save by transitioning to a simpler tax system and make a si
12、gnificant investment in creating good, middle-class jobs. We can put construction workers back on the job rebuilding our infrastructure. We can boost manufacturing, so more American companies can sell their products around the world. And we can help our community colleges arm our workers with the sk
13、ills they need in a global economy all without adding a dime to the deficit.Ill keep laying out my ideas to give the middle class a better shot in the 21st century, and Ill keep reaching out to Republicans for theirs. But gutting critical investments in our future and threatening national default on
14、 the bills that Congress has already racked up thats not an economic plan. Denying health care to millions of Americans, or shutting down the government just because Im for keeping it open that wont help the middle class.The truth is, there are no gimmicks when it comes to creating jobs. There are n
15、o tricks to grow the economy. Reversing the long erosion of middle-class security in this country wont be easy. But if we work together and take a few bold steps and if Washington is willing to set aside politics and focus on what really matters we can grow our economy and give the middle class a be
16、tter bargain. And together, we can make this country a place where everyone who works hard can get ahead.Thanks, and have a great weekend.大家好。本周，我来到田纳西州的亚马孙仓库讨论了很多关于我们需要做什么 才能让中产阶级多分得一点蛋糕才能保证每一个勤奋工作的人在 21 世纪的经 济里过得好。在过去的四年半里，我们已经从我们一生中最严峻的衰退中杀出一条血路开始 为一个更加强劲更加可持续的经济增长大基础了。今天，我们的企业已经在过 去的 41 个月里创造了 7 百 30 万个新就业机会。我们现在销往世界其它地方的 美国产品比以往任何时候都多。医疗成本增长率创 50 年最低，赤字下降
