1. i dont remember most of it
I think I gave myself a concussion banging my head against the wall. I think there was something about an infrastructure bank that wont work and more NAFTA. I'm still kinda dizzy.

3. No , he more or less pressed Congress to get the Trade Deals
done. There was very little elaboration on Trade.
(A lot of Democrats are not big on Trade).
Watch the Tea Party. If they vote the Trade Deals
we know they have sold out and become full-fledged
Republicans.

4. Closing tax loopholes for companies who send jobs overseas and a $4000 tax break for businesses...

... that hire long-term unemployed (those out of work for longer than 6 mos.).

Gotta crash now. Take a look at the text of his speech on whitehouse.gov for more.

5. No
he seemed more intent on making sure the competition was a fair paying field. I am not sure if that's possible, and if it is I don't think it will happen with a GOP house.

7. No, it was all about free trade agreements and corporate tax cuts on the backs of the poor.
It was the next step in the war on the poor and elderly, Medicare and Social Security.
