John McCain

thank you all veri much __PUNCT__

i appreci the hospit of the harri_truman librari institut __PUNCT__

i honor to be here in the town that sent harri truman to washington __PUNCT__ and the town that welcom him back when hi work wa done __PUNCT__

presid truman wa a student of histori __PUNCT__ and he knew how suddenli a crisi could come about __PUNCT__

and while so mani thing have chang in the __NUM___year sinc hi pass __PUNCT__ harri_truman would sure recogn the sourc of the financi_crisi that now threaten the livelihood of million and the futur of the entir american_economi __PUNCT__

onli the vast sum of monei would surpris him __PUNCT__

but the cost of unbridl greed on wall_street __PUNCT__ the foolish of politician who fed the problem __PUNCT__ and the reckless of politician who fail to meet the crisi __PUNCT__ all of these would have a familiar feel to the man from independ __PUNCT__

we ar squar in the greatest financi_crisi of our lifetim __PUNCT__

and i am pleas to report that todai __PUNCT__ i will be return to the floor of the senat to vote on a bill that mark a decis step in the right direct __PUNCT__

the origin propos wa flaw __PUNCT__

i urg addit of taxpay protect __PUNCT__ stronger oversight __PUNCT__ limit on execut compens and more protect for peopl bank_account __PUNCT__

i am pleas that these ar be ad to improv the origin bill __PUNCT__

it took congress a while __PUNCT__ and there were cost to these delai __PUNCT__

but thei have awaken to the danger __PUNCT__

and todai __PUNCT__ with the uniti that thi crisi demand __PUNCT__ congress will onc again work to restor confid and stabil to the american_economi __PUNCT__

there will be a time to fix the blame for all that ha happen __PUNCT__ especi in the case of fanni_mae and freddi_mac __PUNCT__ and the abus and polit deal __PUNCT__ make that corrupt those institut __PUNCT__

but our duti right now is to fix the problem __PUNCT__ and that is the busi that will shortli take me back to washington __PUNCT__

follow __DATE__ __PUNCT__ our nation_leader came togeth at a time of crisi __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ with thi measur __PUNCT__ we have anoth chanc to come togeth to prove that washington is onc again capabl of lead thi countri __PUNCT__

if the financi rescu bill fail in congress yet again __PUNCT__ the present_crisi will turn into a disast __PUNCT__

as credit disappear __PUNCT__ student will no longer be abl to get loan for colleg __PUNCT__ and famili look for a new home will be unabl to get a loan __PUNCT__

new car sale will come to a halt __PUNCT__

busi will have difficulti secur credit for oper and mai be unabl to pai employe __PUNCT__

if we fail to act __PUNCT__ the gear of our economi will grind to a halt __PUNCT__

thi is a moment of great test __PUNCT__

at such moment __PUNCT__ there ar those on both side of thi debat who will act on principl __PUNCT__

of cours __PUNCT__ there ar alwai some who think first of their own interest __PUNCT__ who calcul their own advantag instead of rush to the aid of their countri __PUNCT__

but in the case of thi bill __PUNCT__ i am confid there ar enough peopl of good will in both parti to help see america through thi crisi __PUNCT__

and when the last vote is cast __PUNCT__ we can be grate to all of them __PUNCT__ democrat and republican alik __PUNCT__ for help to solv the crisi instead of mere exploit it __PUNCT__

crise often have a wai of reveal our better selv __PUNCT__ of show what we ar made of __PUNCT__ and how much we can achiev when we ar put to the test __PUNCT__

thi is true as well of the grave challeng we face in washington __PUNCT__

yet it should not requir extrem emerg __PUNCT__ when the futur of our entir economi is on the line __PUNCT__ to bring out the best in us __PUNCT__ or to bring us togeth in servic to the common_good __PUNCT__

we ar suppos to do that even in the calmest of time __PUNCT__

and if we work togeth more often in that spirit __PUNCT__ perhap there would be fewer crise __PUNCT__ close __PUNCT__ call __PUNCT__ and near __PUNCT__ disast confront our nation __PUNCT__

just consid the dai __PUNCT__ to __PUNCT__ dai routin of congress __PUNCT__ even as the __NUM___congress end __PUNCT__ there remain a long_list of challeng unmet __PUNCT__

congress ha fail to pass mani of the appropri bill fund the regular busi of our govern __PUNCT__

from agricultur to the labor_depart to transport __PUNCT__ the major of appropri bill have not pass __PUNCT__

even fund for the oper of the legisl_branch itself ha not pass __PUNCT__

congress can't even find agreement on the yearli bill to pai for the congress itself __PUNCT__

and while these routin fund issu ar address at the last minut behind close_door __PUNCT__ the big challeng_face our countri continu to languish __PUNCT__

we still have made no progress to resolv our energi_crisi __PUNCT__

while we seek solut to the econom_crisi we face_todai __PUNCT__ washington ha been ineffect in address the hous_crisi that start it __PUNCT__

and in the face of mount job_loss __PUNCT__ we still have not taken action to put our economi back on track with polici that would encourag job_creation __PUNCT__ or with updat to an unemploy system and job_train train_program that were creat for the 1950 __PUNCT__

our govern is on the wrong track __PUNCT__ our economi is struggl __PUNCT__ and i expect we will receiv more bad new with fridai unemploy report __PUNCT__

it is a time for leadership and a plan to creat_job and get our countri on the right track __PUNCT__

i believ in low_tax __PUNCT__ spend disciplin __PUNCT__ and open_market __PUNCT__

i believ in reward hard_work and let peopl keep the fruit of their labor __PUNCT__

we will keep the current low_tax tax_rate __PUNCT__

we will simplifi the current tax_code __PUNCT__

we will doubl the child exempt from __NUM___dollar to __NUM__ dollar __PUNCT__

we will give everi famili a __NUM__ dollar tax_credit to bui their own health_insur or keep their current plan __PUNCT__ and we will open up the nation_health __PUNCT__ care market to expand choic and improv qualiti __PUNCT__

and my administr will reduc the price of food by elimin the subsidi for ethanol and agricultur good __PUNCT__

these subsidi inflat the price of food __PUNCT__ not onli for american but for peopl in poverti across the world __PUNCT__ and i propos to abolish them __PUNCT__

i believ in a govern that unleash the creativ and initi of american __PUNCT__ so thei can creat more job and keep our economi_grow __PUNCT__

so we will cut busi tax from __NUM__ percent to __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ to give american_busi a new edg in competit __PUNCT__

we will spur new invest through r&d tax_credit and expens of equip __PUNCT__

and we will protect the right of worker to decid for themselv __PUNCT__ by democrat_vote __PUNCT__ whether to union __PUNCT__

keep tax low help small_busi grow and creat new job __PUNCT__

cut the second highest busi tax_rate in the world will help american_compani compet and keep our best job from move oversea __PUNCT__

doubl the child tax exempt will improv the live of million of american_famili at a time when the cost of live is rise __PUNCT__

reduc govern_spend and get rid of fail program will let you keep more of your own monei to save __PUNCT__ spend and invest as you see fit __PUNCT__

open new market for our good and prepar worker to compet in the world_economi is essenti to our futur prosper __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will also set thi countri on the straightest __PUNCT__ swiftest path to energi_independ __PUNCT__

as a nation __PUNCT__ we will embark on the most ambiti nation project in decad __PUNCT__

we ar go to stop send __MONEY___billion a year to countri that don't like us veri much __PUNCT__

we will attack the problem on everi front __PUNCT__

we will produc more energi at home __PUNCT__

we will drill new well offshor __PUNCT__ and we drill them now __PUNCT__

we will build more nuclear_power_plant __PUNCT__

we will develop clean_coal technolog __PUNCT__

we will increas the us of wind __PUNCT__ tide __PUNCT__ solar and natur_ga __PUNCT__

we will encourag the develop and us of flex fuel __PUNCT__ hybrid and electr automobil __PUNCT__

and in all of thi __PUNCT__ we will creat million of new job __PUNCT__ mani in industri that will be the engin of our futur prosper __PUNCT__ job that will be there when your children enter the workforc __PUNCT__

some still insist that we can achiev energi_independ without more drill and without more nuclear_power __PUNCT__

but american know better than that __PUNCT__

we must us all resourc and develop all technolog necessari to rescu our economi from the damag caus by rise oil_price and to restor the health of our planet __PUNCT__

it an ambiti plan __PUNCT__ but american ar ambiti by natur __PUNCT__ and we have face greater challeng __PUNCT__

it time for us to show the world again how american lead __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will also act immedi with reform to restor fair __PUNCT__ integr __PUNCT__ and financi saniti to the institut that have fail us on wall_street __PUNCT__

we will appli new rule to wall street __PUNCT__ to end the frenzi of specul by peopl game then system __PUNCT__ and to make sure that thi present_crisi is never repeat __PUNCT__

we will bring regulatori_agenc built for the 1930 into the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__

on my watch __PUNCT__ the rule will be enforc __PUNCT__ and violat will be prosecut __PUNCT__

and there will be new rule to shrink __PUNCT__ sell __PUNCT__ and clean hous at fanni_mae and freddi_mac __PUNCT__

we must also realiz that thi rescu plan ha seriou implic for futur spend __PUNCT__

we cannot dedic more than a trillion_dollar to rescu fail institut __PUNCT__ and then go right back to busi as usual in washington __PUNCT__ as if there were no end to the resourc of govern or to the patienc of taxpay __PUNCT__

therefor __PUNCT__ as presid __PUNCT__ i will impos a on __PUNCT__ year spend freez on everi agenc of the feder_govern __PUNCT__ except onli nation_defens __PUNCT__ the care of our veteran __PUNCT__ and a few critic prioriti __PUNCT__

leadership requir candor __PUNCT__

and i will tell you bluntli that america is alreadi ten trillion_dollar in debt __PUNCT__ and to make our economi strong again we must reduc the burden of feder_spend __PUNCT__

we cannot tax our wai to prosper __PUNCT__

i am commit to billion in spend reduct that will balanc the budget __PUNCT__ and get us on the path awai from ruinou debt __PUNCT__

the constant partisan rancor that stop us from solv these problem in washington isn't a caus __PUNCT__ it a symptom __PUNCT__

it what happen when peopl go to washington to work for themselv and not you __PUNCT__

again and again __PUNCT__ i work with member of both parti to fix problem that need to be fix __PUNCT__

that how i will govern as presid __PUNCT__

i will reach out my hand to anyon to help me get thi countri move again __PUNCT__

i have that record and the scar to prove it __PUNCT__

i offer thi not just as a campaign slogan __PUNCT__ but as the wai to solv our countri problem __PUNCT__

instead of reject good_idea becaus we didn't think of them first __PUNCT__ let us the best idea from both side __PUNCT__

and my administr will set a new standard for transpar and account __PUNCT__

we go to final start get thing done for the peopl who ar count on us __PUNCT__ and i won't care who get the credit __PUNCT__

that is the spirit of can __PUNCT__ do patriot __PUNCT__ harri_truman __PUNCT__ that humbl __PUNCT__ good_man from independ __PUNCT__ missouri __PUNCT__ brought to the presid __PUNCT__

when __PUNCT__ to hi and everyon surpris __PUNCT__ he assum the offic of the presid and the mantl of leader of the free_world __PUNCT__ he face the grave and difficult decis that would end the world_war and remak the world out of it ash __PUNCT__
