the Pace"

WASHINGTON —In this week’s address, Vice President Biden noted that this month’s jobs

numbers demonstrated that Congress should pass the American Jobs Act to strengthen oureconomy and create jobs right away. Republicans in Congress have voted against components of the bill to put teachers and firefighters back to work and they have unanimously opposed a bill to

The President is actingwithout Congress through executive actions to help our veterans find jobs, save familiesthousands of dollars by refinancing their mortgages, and reducing the cost of student loans, butthat is not enough. Democrats and Republicans must come together to pass the American JobsAct to strengthen the economy, because the American people can’t wait any longer for Congressto act.

Remarks of Vice President Joe Biden

Weekly Address

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Hi, this is Joe Biden. I’m speaking to you from the University of Pittsburgh, where I just spoketo students here about what we’ve done to help ease the burden on them when it comes to therising cost of tuition and the accumulating student debt and what we’re going to do to help create

jobs when they graduate.

Today we found out we’ve had the 20th month in a row where we’ve increased private sector jobs -- 104,000 this month, 104,000 private sector jobs. And as all you know, that's not nearlyenough. We have to increase the pace. We have to act now to do everything in our power tokeep this economy moving and to grow jobs.

President Obama is on his way back from France where he just met with the leaders of the 20largest economies in the world, where he urged our European friends to step up and stabilizetheir own economies because if they fail, it will affect the whole world.

Too many Americans are still struggling. Too many college students here at the University of Pittsburgh and elsewhere are worrying about the rising cost of their tuition, and the increasing



accumulation of debt. And too many of their parents are in stagnant jobs or out of work,wondering if they're going to be able to send their child back to college next semester.

My dad used to have a saying. He said, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about

dignity. It’s about respect.

And too many Americans have been stripped of their dignity through no fault of their own. Sowe can't wait to help them. The President and I believe we have to act now. That's why we’ve

introduced the jobs bill which independent validators said would create 2 million new jobs.

Although 51 senators voted for that jobs bill, our Republican colleagues in the Senate used aprocedural requirement that requires it to have 60 votes, so it failed.

And since then we’ve taken every impor tant piece of the jobs bill and demanded that we have aseparate vote. But our Republican colleagues in the Senate have voted unanimously to votedown each and every part so far: to restore 400,000 jobs for teachers, police officers,

firefighters, putting them back in classrooms, on the streets and in the fire houses.

And then on Thursday, they unanimously voted down the second part of our program: to rebuildour crumbling roads and bridges, which would have created more than 400,000 good-paying jobs.

These are all programs that the Republicans in the past have supported, but once again, everyRepublican voted no -- blocking the majority will to put these folks back to work.

I think the assumption is that they're voting no because of the way we would pay for these jobs,and we do pay for them. We think everybody should pay their fair share, so that's why we put a

small surtax on the first dollar after a person has already made $1 million. That seems fair to us,and it pays for the bill. It’s a small price to pay to put hundreds of thousands of people back towork.

So, look, we can't wait. We can't wait for the Congress to start acting responsibly, and that's whythe President has used his executive power to announce that hundreds of thousands of peoplewill be able to refinance their homes from 6 percent interest rates to 4 percent, saving them anaverage of $2,000 a year. That's why the President announced that beginning next year, nostudent will have to pay back more than 10 percent of their discretionary income toward theirstudent debt. He also announced new regulations regarding prescription drugs to prevent pricegouging. And there’s more to come.

If the Republican Congress won’t join us, we’re going to continue to act on our own to make thechanges that we can to bring relief to middle-class families and those aspiring to get in themiddle class.

Look, it’s simple: We refuse to take no for an answer. We know these steps taken alone are notgoing to solve all of our problems, but they will make a difference in the lives of millions of American families struggling to hold on. And you know and I know if the Republicans would



just let the Congress do its job, let it step up and meet its responsibilities, we could do so muchmore, and we could do it immediately.

That's why the President and I need your help to tell your Republican congressmen and senatorsto step up. Tell them to stop worrying about their jobs and start worrying about yours because

we’re all in this together, and together is the way we’re going to bring America back evenstronger than it was before.

Thank you.

founding document of modern computing.26 From it, and a series of reportsco-authored by von Neumann a few years later, comes the term ‘‘von

Neumann Architecture’’ to describe such a design.27 According to HermanGoldstine, an army officer assigned to the ENIAC project, John von Neumann(1903 – 1957) learned of the ENIAC from a chance meeting with him in the
