Barack Obama

“ The United States of America continues to outperform much of the world. And we are going to keep it up until every American feels the gains of a growing economy where it matters most – in your own lives. ”

“ Building new roads and bridges creates jobs. Growing our exports creates jobs. Reforming our outdated tax system and our broken immigration system creates jobs. Raising the minimum wage would benefit nearly 28 million American workers, giving them more money to spend at local businesses – and that helps those businesses create jobs.
America, we still have a lot of work to do together. But we do have real, tangible evidence of our progress. 10.9-million new jobs. Ten-million more Americans with health insurance. Manufacturing has grown. ”

“ More young Americans are graduating from high school and earning college degrees than ever before. Over the last four years, this country has put more people back to work than Europe, Japan, and every advanced economy combined. ”
