Obama's Labor Day Speech (VIDEO)

I obviously care more about your family's well-being than you do if you believe American companies can't hire workers unless they're allowed to make our air so dirty our people get sick, miss work and die.

Companies hire workers to fill orders for their products and services. Cleaning up after themselves is a cost of doing business, and it's a necessary cost. This isn't about jobs; it's about profits.

The fact is, federal safeguards for public health, worker safety and our environmen­t generated up to $655 billion in measurable economic benefits over just the past decade, at a cost to industry of $62 billion -- at most -- according to the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Even on a strict economic analysis, in other words, the national benefits of federal safeguards outweigh costs by more than 10 to 1. Read the report for yourself.
