(Applause.)  Please, take a seat if you have one.  I once, several years ago, said, \u201cEverybody take a seat.\u201d  There were about \u2014 it was an evening \u2014 there were about 2,000 people out in the \u2014 in a football field, and it was towards the end of a campaign.  I said, \u201cHave a seat.\u201d  And they all looked at me like, \u201cWe\u2019re standing \u2014 all of it.\u201d  (Laughter.)  I couldn\u2019t see.  But anyway, thank you very, very much.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LXmLSU5bvVM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Look, it\u2019s great to be here in Portsmouth with your senator, Maggie Hassan, who\u2019s been one of my friends for a long, long time, and to talk about investments we\u2019re making to modernize this port and create jobs and bring down the cost for families in this region in everyday life. <\/p>\n<p>Maggie was a key player in the Infrastructure Law.  And it\u2019s making a difference here in New Hampshire and, I might add, around the country.  She made the case for high-speed Internet everywhere in New Hampshire and, you know, protecting New Hampshire\u2019s coastlines from rising sea levels and extreme storms, and for the investments in New Hampshire\u2019s roads and bridges, ports and waterways.<\/p>\n<p>And, Representative Chris Pappas, thank you for a passport into your district.  Chris, where are you?  Is Chris over here?  Well, thanks for the passport, ole buddy, into the district.  I appreciate it. <\/p>\n<p>And he\u2019s a member of the committee that got this bill across the finish line.  Getting big ideas into an actual bill is hard work, requiring getting into the nitty-gritty details and without losing the big picture.<\/p>\n<p>(A baby babbles.)<\/p>\n<p>I agree.  I agree completely.  (Laughter.)  By the way, kids are allowed to do anything they want when I speak \u2014 at all.  (Laughter.)  So don\u2019t worry about it. <\/p>\n<p>And \u2014 but, Chris, thank you for all the work you did.  And you did a hell of a lot of work to get this done, and always making the economic case for how clean water, access to the Internet, rebuilding a bridge, investing in this port matters to your lives, the lives of your families, and, quite frankly, to the entire region. <\/p>\n<p>And Representative Annie Kuster, an old good friend of mine \u2014 it\u2019s good to see you as well, Annie.  Thank you for everything.  (Applause.)<\/p>\n<p>Annie and I have talked a lot about what we need to do to support New Hampshire\u2019s parents and give them just a little bit of breathing room because sometimes things get tight. <\/p>\n<p>And even though she can\u2019t be here, I also wanted to recognize Jeanne Shaheen, who is well represented today by her husband Billy and the family.  Billy, where are you?  (Applause.)  If I can only have one guy in the foxhole with me, I\u2019d pick Billy.  (Laughter.)  Good to see you, Billy.    <\/p>\n<p>And \u2014 and I want to thank \u2014 because she\u2019s sitting next to her.  She doesn\u2019t hold any office but a really good friend of mine.  Her mom used to be a significant political figure up here.  It\u2019s great to see you, kiddo.  Thank you.  Thank you, thank you for being here.  (Applause.) <\/p>\n<p>I also want to thank Chris and Maggie and Jeanne and Annie for all they did to prove that America can do big things when we work together.  You know, we \u2014 we can build a better America. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re the only country in the world that, I believe, that has come out of every crisis we\u2019ve faced stronger than when we went in \u2014 literally stronger than we went in.  That\u2019s the history of the journey of this country.   <\/p>\n<p>And this port is a perfect example.  A lot of important things come into these terminals and particularly this one \u2014 from salt to de-ice roads, to 85 percent of the home heating oil used in this state.<\/p>\n<p>And a lot of important things go out of this port as well, like the massive reactor assemblies for nuclear power plants that are manufactured by Westinghouse Electric here in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, this port has been an important link to more construction equipment and materials for a $2.3 billion project that I\u2019ve authorized in Portsmouth Naval Shipyard \u2014 2.3 billion.  (Applause.)  But it wouldn\u2019t happen without you all and what you\u2019ve done. <\/p>\n<p>Now, I know they say the port is in Maine, but I\u2019ve always thought it was in New Hampshire.  But \u2014 (applause) \u2014 that\u2019s what Billy taught me.  And where the Navy\u2019s nuclear-powered attack submarines are built as well and are stationed. <\/p>\n<p>Look, all in, this port supports over 2,300 jobs \u2014 2,300 jobs; adds $275 million to this region\u2019s economy, and that\u2019s not even counting the more than 6,000 civilian contractors and jobs here at \u2014 over at the Navy yard.  Jobs in Maine, New Hampshire, and all around the region.<\/p>\n<p>But this port has even more potential than that.  Until recently, the area in the harbor called the \u201cturning basin\u201d was only 800 feet long and often meant that pilots had to turn around a 765-foot ship in 800 feet.  I call that tough parallel parking, man.<\/p>\n<p>But seriously \u2014 and it meant that, you know, to be safe, some of the ships could only come in or sail out on high tide, they could only sail at night, or when there was \u2014 they couldn\u2019t sail when there was too much wind.  They couldn\u2019t \u2014 and \u2014 because they\u2019d get knocked off course.<\/p>\n<p>And that \u2014 here\u2019s why it matters: When you keep a ship in dock after the cargo has been delivered, it can cost $90,000 a day when that ship is in port.  And those costs get paid on \u2014 get passed on to you, consumers \u2014 whatever it happens to be. <\/p>\n<p>It also has been a problem for decades.  But with an $18 million investment from the Army Corps of Engineers and the help of Maggie and Chris, the port \u2014 and union labor \u2014 we widened that turning basin to 1,200 feet.  We got it done.  (Applause.)<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s easier, faster, and cheaper, and safer for ships to get in and out.<\/p>\n<p>And the port can welcome larger ships with more cargo, like the massive towers and hubs needed to \u2014 for offshore wind farms.<\/p>\n<p>Look, we\u2019ve also announced an additional $1.7 million investment to dredge \u2014 another tricky part of a shipping channel where the sands build up.<\/p>\n<p>Without that dredging project, the port might need more restrictions on what ships can and can\u2019t pass through this harbor.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of turning away business, we\u2019re sending a message: This port is open for business and will be for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>And we\u2019re sending the same message with our investments in roads and bridges here in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>Back in November, Maggie, Chris, and Annie were with me when I visited Pemi \u2014 the Pemi bridge in Woodstock \u2014 a couple of hours just northwest of here.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge opened in 1939.  Not a big bridge, but it solved big problems.  Local businesses depended on it.  School buses crossed it every day.  Without the bridge, the trucks on the other side of the river would have to take a 10-mile detour to get around to the other side of the river.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, when fires and emergencies \u2014 every single mile matters and counts how long it takes to get there.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, there are nearly 200 bridges deemed deficient<\/p>\n<p>in New Hampshire alone.  There\u2019s about 315 such bridges in Maine.  And many of these are fast-track \u2014 fast \u2014 less-trafficked bridges that are essential to small towns and rural areas, for farmers and small businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Let me give you an example.  I was just in Pittsburgh not long ago \u2014 I guess over \u2014 a little over a month ago.  And I got there the morning that one of its bridges collapsed.  The bridge was built in 1939, if I\u2019m not mistaken, and had been put on a list of being dangerous.  It was about a 12-story drop from the middle of that bridge down to a small creek.  And it was in a \u2014 but it was a ravine that covered about 300 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Had it not been \u2014 had it not been a snow day before, there would have been a lot of school buses on that bridge.  A lot of kids would have been killed.  I\u2019m not joking.  You probably saw it on the front page of every paper in America.<\/p>\n<p>Well, guess what?  It\u2019s happening all over the country.  Fortunately, it didn\u2019t happen there.  Fortunately, there was no one on the bridge.  There were \u2014 actually, there were four vehicles.  No one got killed.<\/p>\n<p>And, you know, I was \u2014 when I was doing the Recovery Act in our last administration \u2014 Obama-Biden \u2014 I was in Pittsburgh \u2014 excuse me, in Pennsylvania, in Western Pennsylvania, in a small town.  And in the process, I looked at a bridge, and they couldn\u2019t \u2014 their fire department was on one side of the bridge, and, literally, from here to that holding tank outside here, was \u2014 on the other side there was a shopping center and a school.  Well, guess what?  Their fire \u2014 you couldn\u2019t get across the bridge; you had to go 10 miles to get around, go up over the bridge, if \u2014 could work, and get back down.  People dying in that 10 miles of the fire truck getting there in the middle of a fire.<\/p>\n<p>This matters.  So we\u2019re making a historic investments in fixing these bridges.<\/p>\n<p>This year alone, we\u2019re delivering $45 million to fix your bridges here in New Hampshire.  This year alone.  (Applause.)<\/p>\n<p>You know, the last fella who had this job kept talking about \u201cInfrastructure Week\u201d for four years.  (Laughter.)  Well, we not only took Infrastructure \u2014 we have \u201cInfrastructure Decade.\u201d  (Applause.)  This is going on.  It\u2019s a billion 200 million dollars.<\/p>\n<p>You know, we used to have the finest infrastructure in the world.  We now rank number 13 in the quality of our infrastructure.  China is ahead of us.  So many other countries have moved. <\/p>\n<p>Folks, this matters.  It matters to our safety, our security, our health, and a whole range of other \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, about 700 miles of highway in New Hampshire are in poor condition.  It\u2019s estimated that the driving on those roads \u2014 those 700 miles \u2014 roughly 700 miles \u2014 that need repairs costs New Hampshire drivers at least an average of $476 a year extra in gas and repairs and longer commute times.  That\u2019s a $476 hidden tax on New Hampshire drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Look, thanks to the Infrastructure Law, we\u2019re making the most significant investment in modernizing our roads and bridges<\/p>\n<p>since the Interstate Highway System was built with Eisenhower.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also going to start to replace the 100 percent \u2014 all 100 percent of lead water pipes and service lines going into our homes and our schools.  (Applause.)<\/p>\n<p>There are 10 million homes and 400,000 schools and preschools and daycare centers that have lead water pipes bringing the water in.  Many of that causes mental illness, brain damage.  It\u2019s really important. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also going to address what they call PFAS; it\u2019s a dangerous forever chemicals that are a threat to drinking water<\/p>\n<p>here in New Hampshire and other states \u2014 something that Senator Shaheen has championed.<\/p>\n<p>Look, every American and every child should be able to<\/p>\n<p>turn on a faucet, drink clean water, which will also create thousands of good-paying jobs for plumbers, pipefitters, and the folks digging those channels.<\/p>\n<p>And, by the way, thanks to the American Rescue Plan, New Hampshire is already seeing $150 million being put into drinking water, wastewater, and storm sewer projects in this state as I speak.  (Applause.)<\/p>\n<p>Maggie, Chris, and Annie, we share a core belief: High-speed Internet is essential \u2014 essential \u2014 to success in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>But even today, 1 in every 10 people in New Hampshire \u2014 every 1 in 10 households don\u2019t have high-speed Internet.  That\u2019s a lot of place where there\u2019s no broadband or \u2014 infrastructure at all in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just New Hampshire families, but for New Hampshire businesses as well.<\/p>\n<p>This law is going to make high-speed Internet affordable and available everywhere in New Hampshire, Maine, and the region \u2014 urban, suburban, rural.  And it\u2019s going to create jobs.  Thousands of union techni- \u2014 thousands of union technicians are going to be laying down these broadband lines.<\/p>\n<p>And never again should a parent have to sit in their car in a McDonald\u2019s parking lot \u2014 literally \u2014 so that their child can get access to high-speed Internet to do their homework over the Internet.  Literally. <\/p>\n<p>     Folks, look, the law also builds up our \u2014 our resilience to extreme weather.<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen years ago this week, this state experienced its second 100-year flood in the space of 11 months.  Cars submerged.  Thousands of evacuations.  People lost everything they owned, twice.<\/p>\n<p>Our infrastructure law upgrades stormwater management systems and builds new transmission lines and towers so fewer will be flooded out of their homes or lose power days and weeks because of these storms. <\/p>\n<p>     There\u2019s so much more in this law.  I\u2019m not going to bore you with the rest of it.  But it\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s significant.<\/p>\n<p>Look, we\u2019ve made a lot of progress, and we have an incredible opportunity ahead of us.  But we know what families are still struggling with higher prices.  I grew up in a family where the price of gasoline went up at the pump, it was a discussion at the kitchen table.  Because my dad \u2014 he was a good man, made a decent living, but always on the margins.  Everything mattered.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s be absolutely clear about why we have such high prices now.  There are two reasons.  First was COVID.<\/p>\n<p>The way the global economy works: If a factory in Vietnam makes computer chips and shuts down in Vietnam because of a COVID outbreak, it causes a ripple effect to slow down manufacturing in Detroit where they need those \u2014 those semiconductors to build the automobiles.<\/p>\n<p>So because of the pandemic, we had disruptions in our supply of important materials, so prices went up. <\/p>\n<p>     As I said, just look at automobiles.  Last year alone, they accounted for one third of all the inflation in America because the price went up, because so fewer \u2014 fewer were being made.  Automobile companies couldn\u2019t get the computer chips, and the price of automobiles skyrocketed.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m calling on Congress to pass the bipartisan Innovation Bill to make more of these chips here at home and speed the supply.<\/p>\n<p>     Intel came to see me \u2014 the chairman of the board of Intel.  He said, \u201cI want to be able to invest $20 billion to build a computer chip factories in \u2014 just west of Cleveland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>     If, in fact, we get this other piece of legislation, which is in \u2014 passed one House and not the other, we\u2019re going to \u2014 he\u2019s going to invest another $100 billion \u2014 $100 billion.<\/p>\n<p>     You know what the average job of \u2014 over 7,000 construction jobs and 3,800 full-time jobs.  Average salary of the full-time jobs \u2014 and there \u2014 many of them are blue-collar jobs \u2014 are $126,000 a year.  Things are changing.<\/p>\n<p>And the second big reason for inflation is Vladimir Putin.  Not a joke.  Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine has driven up gas prices and food prices all over the world. <\/p>\n<p>     Two major breadbaskets of wheat in the world were Ukraine and Russia.  The United States is number three and Canada number four.<\/p>\n<p>     Well, we saw the most recent inflation data.  Last month, about 70 percent of the increase in inflation was a consequence of Putin\u2019s price hike because of the impact on gas and energy prices.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m doing everything I can to bring down the price to address Putin\u2019s price hike.  That\u2019s why I authorized the release of 1 million barrels per day for the next six months for our st- \u2014 from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve. <\/p>\n<p>     And I know the press is always asking me, with good reason, why I\u2019m always on the phone talking with other world leaders, trying to keep them organized.  Well, one of the things I did \u2014 I went out and got a lot of other countries to agree that they would release petroleum from their oil reserves.<\/p>\n<p>So, we worked with the U.S. oil producers to ramp up the production \u2014 (applause) \u2014 and we coordinated this release with partners and allies around the world.  And shortly after I made the announcement, another 30 countries agreed to 60 million additional barrels a day on the market. <\/p>\n<p>     So now we have 240 million barrels a day for the next six months.  That\u2019s the largest collective reserve release in history.  Nations coming together to help deny Putin the ability to weaponize his energy resources against American families and families in Europe and around the world. <\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s more that needs to be done.  And Americans should already be seeing the savings.  Although it\u2019s only gone down about 18 cents, the savings are starting.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond gas prices, I\u2019ve called on Congress to move immediately to lower the cost of family utility bills, prescription drug bills, and more, while lowering the deficit and reducing inflation.  That would make a big difference for families.  We can do a lot of these things without raising a single penny on taxes of anyone making less than $400,000 a year.  Nobody making less than $400,000 will see a single penny in their taxes raised.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the best way Congress can address inflation right now.<\/p>\n<p>And, folks, look, the fact is that we are in a situation where the war in Ukraine is going to continue to take its toll on the world economy.  It\u2019s going to take its toll on energy, and it\u2019s going to take its toll relative to food. <\/p>\n<p>When I was running for office \u2014 you heard it a thousand times from me: that we\u2019re going to build an economy around you.  I\u2019m so tired of trickle-down economics.  And I never found that trickle down on top of my head very much.  I was listed \u2014 I was \u2014 had the great pleasure of being listed as the poorest man in Congress for 36 years.  I still had \u2014 making a hell of a lot more money than anybody else because I was getting a senator\u2019s salary.  No kidding.  I didn\u2019t think you should make money while you\u2019re in office. <\/p>\n<p>But, at any rate, the point of it is this: An awful lot of people are hurting.  It makes a big difference.  It makes a big difference.  The cost of a dozen eggs, the cost of a gallon of gasoline, it matters.  It matters. <\/p>\n<p>So I concluded, when I ran this last time, that we\u2019re going to build this economy from the bottom up and the middle out, because when that happens, everybody does well.  The wealthy do very well and the poor have a ladder up, and the middle class has a little bit of breathing room. <\/p>\n<p>I grew up in a household where we lived in a split-level home \u2014 three bedrooms, four kids, mom and dad, and a grandpop who lived with us.  And I remember one night, you could \u2014 you know, the walls were kind of thin.  I can \u2014 my dad was restless.  The next morning, when he went to work, I asked mom what was the problem.  She said, \u201cHe just noticed his company just said no more \u2014 they\u2019re not going to \u2014 not going to cover health insurance anymore.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It matters.  These things matter to people.  They matter to ordinary people.<\/p>\n<p>We can, in fact, provide for anyone who has Type 1 diabetes or a child \u2014 or 200 million \u2014 200,000 kids who have it.  They need that insulin every single day.  Average cost is six hundred and forty-seven thou- \u2014 $647 a month, sometimes as low as $90 and as high as $1,000, depending on where you are.<\/p>\n<p>You know how mu- \u2014 made \u2014 how much it costs to make one of those vials of insulin?  Ten \u2014 T-E-N \u2014 dollars.  Not a single change has been made in that insulin since it was first discovered.<\/p>\n<p>And so, we could set that price at maximum of $35.  They still make a significant profit.  And what they \u2014 what in God\u2019s name are we doing?<\/p>\n<p>Look, I\u2019m a capitalist.  I think people should be able to go out and make millions of dollars, even a billion if you can make it, but at least pay your fair share.  Pay something.  (Applause.)  Pay something. <\/p>\n<p>By the way, I\u2019m being deadly earnest.  You know, it\u2019s just \u2014 you know, there are \u2014 I come from the corporate capital of the world, Delaware.  More corporations are incorporated in the state of Delaware than every other state in the nation combined \u2014 combined.  And I survived winning seven Senate elections in that state. <\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the deal: The fact is, folks, that, you know, there are 50 Fortune \u2014 there are 50 of the top 500 corporations in America last year that made a total of $40 billion in profit.  They didn\u2019t pay one single penny \u2014 not one.  The average percent that billionaires pay of the 790 of them is about 3.8 percent. <\/p>\n<p>Just pay your fair share.  We can do all these things. <\/p>\n<p>And, by the way, one last thing: You know, the budget I submitted \u2014 my first budget that passed and became law, it cut the federal deficit by $350 billion.  We cut the deficit $350 billion.  (Applause.)<\/p>\n<p>And the budget I proposed this year, if it comes to total fruition, it will cut the deficit by one trillion three hundred billion dollars.  (Applause.)<\/p>\n<p>So when my Republican friends start talking about \u201cbig spenders\u201d and the reason why there\u2019s inflation, take a look. Take a look.  We\u2019ve cut the deficit drastically. <\/p>\n<p>So, look, we\u2019re making progress.  Over the course of my presidency, our recovery so far has created 7.9 million new jobs \u2014 (applause) \u2014 more jobs \u2014 more jobs created over the first 14 months than any President ever.  Over 420,000 manufacturing jobs. <\/p>\n<p>Unemployment rate is at 3.6 percent, down from 6.4 percent.  In the state of New Hampshire, you\u2019re down from \u2014 I think it\u2019s 4.2 percent to 3.2 [sic] percent.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, in Maine you\u2019ve added 28,000 jobs, and unemployment has dropped from 4.4 to 3.6. <\/p>\n<p>New Hampshire, 26,000 new jobs.  Dropped from 4.2 \u2014 I was \u2014 misspoke \u2014 to 2.5 \u2014 2.5 percent. <\/p>\n<p>Last year, as I said, we cut the deficit by more than 350 thousa- \u2014 billion dollars.  This year, we\u2019re on track for $1.3 trillion in cuts.  And look, that would be the largest debt reduction in American history.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s particularly important now we ask ourselves: How are we going to reduce pressure on inflation?<\/p>\n<p>Maine, New Hampshire, and America have gone on the mend.  They\u2019re on the \u2014 they\u2019re not on the mend any longer; they\u2019re on the move.  And we\u2019re coming to \u2014 at our challenges from a position of strength. <\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m more optimistic about America today than I\u2019ve ever been in my whole career, because I see the future that\u2019s within our grasp.  We can\u2019t be afraid though.  We\u2019re the only nation on Earth, as I\u2019ve said, that has always turned every single, solitary crisis we\u2019ve had into an opportunity.  And that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re going to do today if we do it together.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about being together \u2014 the United States of America.
