Watch the video below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;The American Jobs Act will not add to the deficit.&amp;nbsp; It will be paid for.&amp;nbsp; And here’s how.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;  "The agreement we passed in July will cut government spending by about  $1 trillion over the next 10 years.&amp;nbsp; It also charges this Congress to  come up with an additional $1.5 trillion in savings by Christmas.&amp;nbsp;  Tonight, I am asking you to increase that amount so that it covers the  full cost of the American Jobs Act.&amp;nbsp; And a week from Monday, I’ll be  releasing a more ambitious deficit plan -- a plan that will not only  cover the cost of this jobs bill, but stabilize our debt in the long  run.&lt;/span&gt;" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/imagecache/gallery_img_full/image/image_file/p090111ps-0400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="179" src="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/imagecache/gallery_img_full/image/image_file/p090111ps-0400.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"This approach is basically the one I’ve been advocating for months.&amp;nbsp; In  addition to the trillion dollars of spending cuts I’ve already signed  into law, it’s a &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/analysis-obama-jobs-plan-reinvigorates-growth-outlook-044127510.html"&gt;balanced plan&lt;/a&gt; that would reduce the deficit by making  additional spending cuts, by making modest adjustments to health care  programs like Medicare and Medicaid and by reforming our tax code in a  way that asks the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations to pay  their fair share.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What’s more, the spending cuts wouldn’t  happen so abruptly that they’d be a drag on our economy, or prevent us  from helping small businesses and middle-class families get back on  their feet right away." &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
