ideas, from cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations, to starting a trade war with china, to deporting millions of hard working immigrants, the result would be a loss of 3.4 million jobs. now, by contrast, the same analysts found that with our plan, the economy would create more than 10 million new i believe every american willing to work hard should be able to find a job that provides dign dignity, pride and decent pay that can support a family. so, starting on day one, we will work with both parties to pass the biggest investment in new good paying jobs since world war ii. a big part of our plan will be unleashing the power of the

and that means for us creating an infrastructure bank to get private funds off the sidelines and compliment our private investments. $25 million could unlock more than $250 billion and really get our country moving on our infrastructure plans and we're going to what we're calling "make it in america partnership" to support american manufacturing and recommit to scientific research that can create entire new industries. i will stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages, including the transpacific partnership. i oppose it now. i'll oppose it after the
