Quotes
President-elect weekly radio address:- "We will create millions of jobs by making the single largest new investment in our national infrastructure since the creation of the federal highway system in the 1950s. We’ll invest your precious tax dollars in new and smarter ways, and we’ll set a simple rule – use it or lose it. If a state doesn’t act quickly to invest in roads and bridges in their communities, they’ll lose the money."—Barack ObamaThe Office of the President-Elect: President-Elect Barack Obama Lays Out Key Parts of Economic Recovery Plan (December 6, 2008)
Meet the Press interview:
- "That's why I spoke ...about the importance of investing in the largest infrastructure program in roads and bridges and other traditional infrastructure since the building of the federal highway system in the 1950s; rebuilding our schools and making sure that they're energy efficient; making sure that we're investing in electronic medical records and other technologies that can drive down health care costs. All those things are not only immediate --part of an immediate stimulus package to the economy, but they're also down payments on the kind of long-term, sustainable growth that we need."—Barack ObamaMSNBC: Transcript of Obama on Meet the Press (December 7, 2008)
