We’re also investing in a homegrown, clean energy industry – because I don’t want to see new solar panels and wind turbines and electric cars manufactured in some other country. I want to see them made in America, by American workers. So far, we’ve provided new tax credits, loan guarantees, and investments that will lead to more than 800,000 clean energy jobs by 2012. And throughout America, communities are being rebuilt by people working in hundreds of thousands of new private sector jobs repairing our roads, bridges, and railways.
我們也對國內的清潔能源工業進行投資——因為我不想看到新的太陽能面板、風力渦輪機和電動汽車在其他國家生產。我想看到他們在美國由美國的工人生產。到目前為止，我們提供了新的稅收優惠，貸款擔保，以及資金投入使得到2012年為止，在新能源領域增加80多萬就業崗位。而且美國各地，有數十萬新的私營部門的人們正在通過修路，修橋以及修鐵路等工作重建我們的社會。
Our economic plan is also aimed at strengthening the middle-class. That’s why we’ve cut taxes for 95% of working families. That’s why we’ve offered tax credits that have made college more affordable for millions of students, and why we’re making a new commitment to our community colleges. And that’s why we passed health insurance reform that will stop insurance companies from dropping or denying coverage based on an illness or pre-existing condition.
我們的經濟計劃致力于鞏固中產階級的地位。這也是我們為95%的工薪家庭減稅的原因。也是我們提供稅收減免讓數百萬學子能負擔得起大學學費的原因，也是我們為我們的社區大學許下新的承諾的原因，也是我們通過醫療保險改革法，終止保險公司對已有疾病降低賠付標準和拒絕賠付行徑的原因。
This is our economic plan – smart investments in America’s small businesses, America’s clean energy industry, and America’s middle-class. Now, I can’t tell you that this plan will bring back all the jobs we lost and restore our economy to full strength overnight. The truth is, it took nearly a decade of failed economic policies to create this mess, and it will take years to fully repair the damage. But I am confident that we are finally headed in the right direction. We are moving forward. And what we can’t afford right now is to go back to the same ideas that created this mess in the first place.
這就是我們的經濟計劃——明智的投資于美國的小企業，美國的清潔能源工業，以及美國的中產階級。現在，我不能說該項計劃會在一夜之間將所有失去的工作重新帶回大家身邊。但事實是，將近數十年的錯誤經濟政策導致了這個亂攤子，我們肯定要幾年才能完全修復這些損傷。但我對于我們最終在正確的方向上前進充滿信心。我們正在不斷前進。而我們現在所不能接受的就是重回一開始就導致這個亂攤子的老路上去。
