原文 Weekly Address: Working Together on the Economy Remarks of President Barack ObamaAs Prepared for DeliveryThe White HouseOctober 30, 2010? Tuesday is Election Day, and here in Washington, the talk is all about who will win and who will lose – about parties and politics. But around kitchen tables, I’m pretty sure you’re talking about other things: about your family finances, or maybe the state of the economy in your hometown; about your kids, and what their futures will bring.? And your hope is that once this election is over, the folks you choose to represent you will put the politics aside for a while, and work together to solve problems. That’s my hope, too. Whatever the outcome on Tuesday, we need to come together to help put people who are still looking for jobs back to work.? And there are some practical steps we can take right away to promote growth and encourage businesses to hire and expand.? These are steps we all should be able to agree on – not Democratic or Republican ideas, but proposals that have traditionally been supported by both parties. We ought to provide continued tax relief for middle class families who have borne the brunt of the recession.? We ought to allow businesses to defer taxes on the equipment they buy next year.? And we ought to make the research and experimentation tax credit bigger and permanent – to spur innovation and foster new products and technologies. Beyond these near-term steps, we should work together to tackle the broader challenges facing our country – so that we remain competitive and prosperous in a global economy.? That means ensuring that our young people have the skills and education to fill the jobs of a new age.? That means building new infrastructure – from high-speed trains to high-speed internet – so that our economy has room to grow.? And that means fostering a climate of innovation and entrepreneurship that will allow American businesses and American workers to lead in growth industries like clean energy
