IT IS NOT JUST A POLICY.
WE HAVE A BREAK FOR HALF AN HOUR.
IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES, WE WILL BE RESUMING WITH A DISCUSSION ABOUT
THE MEDIA, FAKE NEWS. BEFORE WE GO, PEOPLE ON THE
TABLE, ALL OF THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE, BUT ALSO, LEE, PAULA,
AT OUR MODERATOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
-- AND OUR MODERATOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[APPLAUSE] IN HIS WEEKLY ADDRESS, THE
PRESIDENT TALKS ABOUT HIS LEGISLATIVE AGENDA, INCLUDING A
NEW BUDGET PROPOSAL AND BORDER SECURITY.
SENATOR TOM CARPER OF DELAWARE DELIVERS THE DEMOCRATIC
RESPONSE, PAYING TRIBUTE TO MEMORIAL DAY AND GIVING HIS
REACTION TO THE HEALTH CARE LAW. MY FELLOW AMERICANS, EACH
MONTH, FAMILIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY WORKED VERY HARD TO
BALANCE THEIR BUDGETS AND MAKE THE TOUGH CHOICES NECESSARY TO
TAKE CARE OF THEIR LOVED ONES AND GIVE THEIR CHILDREN
OPPORTUNITIES THEY NEVER HAD BEFORE.
THIS IS WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS. WE TAKE PRIDE IN LEADING EACH
NEW GENERATION -- LEAVING EACH NEW GENERATION A BETTER COUNTRY
THAN THE ONE WE HAD. WASHINGTON HAS REFUSED TO MAKE
TOUGH DECISION. THIS HAS TO CHANGE.
WE NEED A GOVERNMENT THAT SPENDS ON THE RIGHT THINGS, THE SAFETY,
SECURITY, AND WELL-BEING OF OUR PEOPLE, AND STOP THE WASTE AND
WHETHER TAXPAYER FUNDS, IN AMERICA OR GLOBAL PROJECTS
OVERSEAS, OF WHICH PERHAPS THERE ARE TOO MANY.
ADMIRED MINISTERS AND LAYING A NEW FOUNDATION TO BUILD A FUTURE
ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AND ACHIEVED AMERICAN GREATNESS.
THE BUDGET WE ARE PROPOSING WILL REVERSE ECONOMIC STAGNATION AND
OPEN THE PATH TO MILLIONS OF JOBS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS.
WE WILL BALANCE THE BUDGET WITHOUT MAKING CUTS IN SOCIAL
SECURITY AND MEDICARE. WE WILL ACHIEVE OUR GOALS BY
DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR HOME, SETTING PRIORITIES,
CUTTING THE FAT, AND GROWING NEW OPPORTUNITIES.
THE BIG THING FOR ME IS ECONOMIC GROWTH, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE
WITHOUT SAFETY AND SECURITY. WE WILL GROW OUR ECONOMY.
IT IS GROWING ALREADY. IT WILL GROW FASTER THAN YOU
HAVE SEEN IN DECADES. THAT IS WHY OUR BUDGET REVERSES
YEARS OF CUTS TO OUR MILITARY THAT HAVE MADE US LESS SAFE IN A
MORE DANGEROUS WORLD. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THE
MEN AND WOMEN ARE THE FRONTLINES OF FREEDOM, HAVE THE TOOLS THEY
NEED TO KEEP US SAFE AND TOTALLY SECURE.
AT HOME, WE ARE GOING TO GET OUR ICE OFFICERS, WHO HAVE DONE AN
EQUITABLE JOB, AND OUR BORDER PATROL AGENTS, WHO ARE AMAZING
PEOPLE, EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO END THE LAWLESSNESS ONCE AND FOR
ALL. IT IS OUR MORAL DUTY TO KEEP OUR
CITIZENS SAFE AND FREE AND TO PROTECT THE RIGHT OF EVERY
AMERICAN TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS. ROAMING OURNT MS-13
STREETS. WE ARE GETTING RID OF THEM BY
THE THOUSANDS. THEY ARE GOING TO BE OUT OF
HERE, BUT I AM PROUD TO TELL YOU THAT THE FIRST BUDGET WE ARE
RELEASING PROVIDES A FIRM NEW FOUNDATION FOR THE SAFETY
AND JOBS AND PROSPERITY FOR ALL AMERICANS IN YEARS TO COME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THE END
RESULT. AND 23TIRED NAVY CAPTAIN
