“it is rather amazing, in the United States we only have one country, we have one people, we have one President, and he gives one State of the Union Address. Today we began to see how difficult partisan politics has made the idea of having one President, because before our President--the one President we have-- takes the one opportunity to address the American people as to what he would like to do and what he would like help from the Congress and the people on, we have an array of Democratic Senators come to the floor, all of whom have today set their own standard for what he ought to do, all of whom have criticisms of what he might say, all of whom suggest if he doesn't do this, it will not work. Well, I submit the President will have a myriad of healthy ideas for the American economy, and I would like to discuss one major one for a few minutes with the Senate and the American people--that is, the concern we have in the United States about our economy not producing jobs as it should and, thus, creating worry among our people beyond the unemployed.”
