And of course there are a lot of things we need to do. Make sure we finally the Women Equal Pay for equal work. [speaking in native tongue] and i am going to say this is not just a womens issue. This is a family economic issue. If people are not being paid fairly that hurts everybody, the Small Business that does not get enough customers because people cannot afford with there selling. I mean that is a growth strategys. A growth strategy. The more we equalize what people are paid according to there own effort the better off we we will be. Our longterm strategy we must make investments that we will grow our economy and research and investment, infrastructure. It is beyond my understanding that we are having a partisana partisan battle in congress. We are in a global competition. Other countries are investing in there infrastructure command i do not mean the physical infrastructure come as important as that is the more roads and airports and bridges. I mean our virtual infrastructure. We need to get affordable quality broadbands everyplace this country just as we have electricity. Now, theyre is one particular issue i want to talk about. I reallyi really think our corporations are missing a big bet. Because credible studies quite a number of them actually got through that profitsharing with your employees is good for the employees, good for the businesses, good for the economy. Ii want to incentivize more companies to do just that. We havewe have some great examples are New Hampshire. One you are familiar with. You know market baskets provide profitsharing for employees who work more than a thousand hours a year. For both fulltime and parttime employees. Ii am pretty proud of that and think that it makes Good Business sense. And what you here from companies that you no what, this increases productivity, loyalty of employees. It gives you a bond with your employees. They will work harder, look for more things to do to improve what is going on in the stores. That is just common sense. Treat someone like to have a stake in your business and they will stand up straighter, work a little harder, make a difference. A difference. Theyre is another company here in portsmouth pack world investments. And joe started this company as an Investment Company and is also a big believer in profitsharing. He provides profitsharing to his employees. So i want us to try to convince more companies to do just that. I am proposing a rising income sharing profit tax credit that would encourage more companies to provide profitsharing by giving those companies a 15 percent tax credit of the amount of the profitsharing for two years to get that started and to see that it works like so many of the other companies that already do it [applause] you know, i think that by providing examples and incentives and comparing what works to what does work just like economic policies that work and dont work corporate policies that work and dont work we have got to do a better job using information as a tool for changing corporate behavior the purpose. Itit is a big part of what we can begin to implement when im president. And i believe that if we do more of that we will send a very stronga very strong signal. I we will have more to say about corporate purpose next week about we need to get businesses back looking after there employees and there customers and there communities and our country notcountry, not just their executives and shareholders. Theyre has got to be [applause] theyre has got to be a recognition that there is more in it for all of us if we do it like that. And soand so therefore i am going to be presenting a lot of plans that i hope will find favor 1st with voters and then as president with those who i am going to try to influence by incentivizing but eventually by changing laws if that is what it takes so that we have more have an economic approach that reflects how lucky businesses are to be operating in the United States of america with all the we provide the support we give, the rule of law that is part of our National Economic climate in the forward it to work more as partners and not have an adversary relationship between our economy and our society. I believe the ability of the economy to work for everybody and get our democracy towork for everybody command it will require changes in both. [applause] so i am excited about this campaign. Campaign. He cited below we can do together. I really believe that this is one of those elections that we will set the course for the rest of the century command we need to get it right. We cannot go backwards. What i am proposing is not left to right some much as it is forward or backward command we we will go forward. [applause] so with that lets start with your questions. They can be about anything. Anything. The firsthand as i go up was this young woman either. My name is brenda bouchard. I have been a caregiver for my husband for nearly ten years. He has anger onset alzheimers. My mother is almost 89. I am one of 65,000 alzheimers care givers in the state of New Hampshire and no firsthand the pain of seeing someones the boy to this disease. I no the financial burden is disease carries for families as well as our country. My question to you is, in your president ial campaign and beyond what we will you do to ensure this devastating disease and the potential bankruptcy to Medicare Medicaid will get the attention it needs. Let me thank you. You. Let me really thank you for your caregiving and your care. [applause] i want you to think about what you said. 65,000 caregivers right here in one state and multiply that many, many, many times over. We have a caregiving crisis. We have sowe have so many millions of people who are providing either fulltime or parttime care for those they love, spouses, childrenging parents or other relatives. To come. New line have to come to grips with this because right now we are not doing enough to support you and the important work you are doing in your home. I want to make three points. With respect specifically alzheimers i am 100 committed to increasing the research that goes and alzheimers. One of the real unfortunate setbacks from the cutbacks in the congress is that so much of the Health Research done by the National Institute of health and other firstrate Research Institutions has been cut back. I was talking to a scientist the other day who said that when the congress cut the money for the nih and others literally labs were close young scientists were laid off and it stopped progress in a number of very important efforts including with respect to alzheimers. We have to get back funding our research and science agenda and in particular our research into diseases like alzheimers because we are were going to be on the brink of making some breakthroughs secondly, i think we have got to do more within the government programs, particularly medicare to provide more support for caregiving that is given by relative. Now, people worry, how do you make the judgment. We couldwe could pay for a visiting nurse, pay for somebody coming in from the outside but how do we provide some kind of Financial Support for the woman taking care of her husband and mother. I think there smart enough to figure that out command i think our failure to do so will actually end up costing more money because more people will not be able to do what you are doing. They cannot afford it, so they turn and say, i have to keep working because i also have dependent children at home. I have to keep working because my husband no longer can. And so i cannot do any of the caregiving. I have got to go into the formal workplace. Well, then somebody is going to have to come in and help thats going to cost money. Why cant we be smart enough to figure out how we support the Family Caregivers in addition to the nonFamily Caregivers. Caregivers. And i am working very hard to figure out how we do that because clearly the cost projected into the future is quite substantial. But as a friend of mine who is taking care of her husband said to me not so long ago, if every Family Caregiver stopped working tomorrow he would have to find about 350 billion worth of care to make up the difference. So lets figure out how we do that and dont discriminate against Family Caregivers. We also need to give you more respite care. Theyre has to be a program for respite care. [applause] too many people do the work do it out of love, devotion, but it is a 247 job and they dont have time to go to the store, have a cup of tea with a friend, get the hair fixed. Theyll have time to do anything unless there is some respite care in the home or in another facility. And finally, the last thing i would say as im looking at an idea that i heard about recently, the care core. Here is what i think we might be able to do. In every community have a coordinating mechanism so that people who are trained in how they would care for someone who has alzheimers or any other ailment could be on a volunteer basis willing to come in to your home for a certain time. There are a lot of people were tired, a lot of retired nurses and teachers, teachers,teachers, Business People and others who look for volunteer opportunities. And i think if we had a care core where we hoped to find just a mechanism, maybe the online request, maybe the telephone line, maybe line maybe somebody to make the appointment, we could help supplement what might be done by both the family and professional caregivers. But this is a huge issue, and as you can tell i have been thinking about it. My late mother lived with us until she passed away and she was thankfully in good health, but she had some real beginnings of deterioration physically. So i am well aware of how important this is and i really want to thank you for raising it. Thank you so much. [applause] well iwell i am going to get to as many questions as i can. Use myuse my microphone. My name is marie, a High School Student from dover. I have a question. I am involved with the lg bt community and know that gay marriage was just legalize in all 50 states,50 states, and i dont want to undermine that. Thats awesome. But i was wondering what you specifically were going to do about antidiscrimination laws in the workplace. I dont want to be able to get married to someone of the same gender but also be discriminated against in my workplace. [applause] thank you. Thank you. Well you arewell, you are right. The Supreme Court decision was an extraordinary historic milestone. And i think it is worth it if you have any interest looking at the decision because it is a constitutional decision that more than that it is aa decision about how we treat each other, respect each other, acknowledge. People should not have to be lonely. People can have relationships love one another. It was quite a moving decision. You put your finger on the next big challenge, and that is discrimination. When i was in the senate supported the end of law, to end discrimination against people based in those days as we used to say on Sexual Orientation and we do have to do more to make sure that we end discrimination in the workplace in particular. So i am committed to that. I we will work for that. As pres. I we will do everything i can to get it enacted into law. [applause] maybe we can get a microphone. Here comes one. The room got overcrowded. We were going to have microphone set up and then we put in more chairs. Thank you for doing the work you are doing. Anyway i want to thank you for speaking out about the problem that corporations are having too much ability to write the rules in this country. This isthis is related to that, but the city of dover one of the communities that has gotten a grant to acquire military equipment from the federal government. In thisgovernment. In this case and our Motor Vehicle called the bearcat manufactured by company, lancome. Lancome actively help cities figure out how to do the paperwork so that they can qualify for the money that the federal government we will and provide so that they can get these military vehicles which then cause caused problems with Community Relations and communities with the police start to act perhaps more like military forces is set of people protecting the committee. My question is, what steps will you take to make sure our local Law Enforcement do not become just another Profit Center for the militaryindustrial complex . [applause] you know, that is an important question on several levels, one of which you just mentioned. And also because the militarization of local police has been in many ways a problem overa problem over the last couple years with some of the incidents that we have had in communities across the country. I have already spoken out and we really do need to look hard at preventing the militarization of local police forces. And that means a lot of this heavy military equipment that was either already manufactured or manufactured after september 11 which is now made available to local communities should not necessarily end of the. Let me make this. Part of the reason for this is that after september 11 i was a senator from new york. I was theyre but then, you know, hours the next day seeing what had happened in new york and as part of the effort to try to protect our country through the knew department of Homeland Security a lot of money was appropriated that would go through that process that could then be used by cities and towns across america. I think it was too broad. I think it was unfortunately lasting too long so that it is still going on as you rightly say. I think that local communities working with the federal government need to take a hard look at whether we need to be paying for and subsidizing the transfer of such equipment to local communities. There still may be places where it is warranted but i, but i think it has gone too far and needs to be arraigned in. Thank you for raising that. [applause] so many hands. The guys at my back the whole time. And here comes a microphone in a hurry. Sec. , thank you for coming to New Hampshire and speaking to us today. You talked a lot about building our future in this country. As a young person i am concerned about the threat of Climate Change. The threat of Climate Change to our families and our country and around the world. Scientists have shown we need to keep it was at the fossil fuels on the ground to prevent the 2 degrees celsius warming which would be dangerous for women and families around the globe. My question is, you commit to banning fossil fuel extraction of public land from this country which is where 70 percent of fossil fuels. Yes or no . The answer is not until we have the alternatives in place. That may not be a satisfactory answer to you but i would have to take a responsible answer. I am 100 percent in favor of accelerating the development of solar wind advanced biofuel, energy efficiency, everything we can do. [applause] and i would hope that we could get to the. That you made colleges looking at public land and cutting back over time, phasing out the extraction of fossil fuel, but i will say this we still have to run our economy,economy, turn on the lights have to make sure that businesses operate. I want to do is much as i can as quickly as i can to make this Energy Transition but i could not responsibly say to you that i could automatically stop the source of fossil fuels right away without having a substitute in order to keep the economy going to keep people employed, to keep the lights on. But your larger. Really bears repeating. Climate change is an existential threat. Climate threat. Climate change is real. Everybody on the other side who says to you that [applause] they say you when you asked them about Climate Change i am not a scientist. Why dont you start listening to the scientists . [applause] and once you do then you we will be urgently trying to act in your own personal situation trying to be more energy efficient, figure out how to get alternatives available to your home for what your business, standing up against some of the really poorly thoughtout plans for some states to prevent further acceleration of solar and wind and enabling businesses and individuals to sell back to the good of all the things that can make a difference more quickly dispute as to her that moment. Ii think we have got to have a comprehensive and very well thought through anti Climate Change proclaiming your energy plan. Ii applaud the president has done without having the authority from the congress for what he is done with executive orders. Weorders. To continue to build on it. Hopefully we can get to the. Where we develop Something Like a consensus ofa consensus of our country which is what upsets me. The people who are against doing something on Climate Change have no alternative. Its just more of the same. Keep doing it. Keep doing keep doing what were doing now which is a losing policy we do need more people Andin Congress to understand and believe in the importance of addressing Climate Change. We need a president we will keep moving as far as possible on executive authority until we can get more legislation passed for the United States to set the example but i dont want to say i we will do something that i no would be difficult to do until we get everything moving in the right direction and the results and more people doing what there peace of the action might be. I want all of us to think through what we can do and if you get to the. Only entity extraction on public land and at least until we phase it out give more money that can go to fight Climate Change that we will be on the right track to get to the need to be. [applause] how are you . Just want to ask you. [inaudible] [inaudible qu
