Premise: If we want to generate the type of wealth and the type of economic growth required to address all the social issues and challenges we heard about from coast to coast to coast, then there is no question in my mind that the only way we can do that is to put a plan together that speaks to the issue of improving the standard of living for people.
Hypothesis: The speaker believes that many social issues are caused by poverty and inequality, and that by addressing that root cause we can in turn solve many problems.
