undiminished.
But
our
time
of
standing
pat，of
protecting
narrow
interests
and
putting
off
unpleasant
decisions-that
time
has
surely
passed.
Starting
today，we
must
pick
ourselves
up，dust
ourselves
off，and
begin
again
the
work
of
remaking
America.
For
everywhere
we
look，there
is
work
to
be
done.
The
state
of
the
economy
calls
for
action，bold
and
swift，and
we
will
act-not
only
to
create
new
jobs，but
to
lay
a
new
foundation
for
growth.
We
will
build
the
roads
and
bridges，the
electric
grids
and
digital
lines
that
feed
our
commerce
and
bind
us
together.
We
will
restore
science
to
its
rightful
place，and
wield
technology’s
wonders
to
raise
health
care’s
quality
and
lower
its
cost.
We
will
harness
the
sun
and
the
winds
and
the
soil
to
fuel
our
cars
and
run
our
factories.
And
we
will
transform
our
schools
and
colleges
and
universities
to
meet
the
demands
of
a
new
age.
All
this
we
can
do.
And
all
this
we
will
do.
Now，there
are
some
who
question
the
scale
of
our
ambitions-who
suggest
that
our
system
cannot
tolerate
too
many
big
plans.
Their
memories
are
short.
For
they
have
forgotten
what
this
country
has
already
done;what
free
men
and
women
can
achieve
when
imagination
is
joined
to
common
purpose，and
necessity
to
courage.
What
the
cynics
fail
to
understand
is
that
the
ground
has
shifted
beneath
them-that
the
stale
political
arguments
that
have
consumed
us
for
so
long
no
longer
apply.
The
question
we
ask
today
is
not
whether
our
government
is
too
big
or
too
small，but
whether
it
works-whether
it
helps
families
find
jobs
at
a
decent
wage，care
they
can
afford，a
retirement
that
is
dignified.
Where
the
answer
is
yes，we
intend
to
move
forward.
Where
the
answer
is
no，programs
will
end.
And
those
of
us
who
manage
the
public’s
dollars
will
be
held
to
account-to
spend
wisely，reform
bad
habits，and
do
our
business
in
the
light
of
day-because
only
then
can
we
restore
the
vital
trust
between
a
people
and
their
government.
