Barack Obama,
How Far We've Come Together
“ More than a million jobs across the country were on the line – and not just auto jobs, but the jobs of teachers, small business owners, and everyone in communities that depend on this great American industry. ”
Barack Obama,
How Far We've Come Together
“ We bet on American workers and American ingenuity, and three years later, that bet is paying off in a big way. Today, auto sales are the highest they’ve been in more than four years. GM is back. Ford and Chrysler are growing again. Together, our auto industry has created nearly a quarter of a million new jobs right here in America. And we’re not just making more cars and trucks – we’re making better ones. ”
Barack Obama,
How Far We've Come Together
“ After thirty years of inaction, we raised fuel standards so that by the middle of the next decade, cars and light trucks will average almost fifty-five miles per gallon – nearly double what they get today. That means you’ll only have to fill up every two weeks instead of every week. It’s good for your wallet, it’s good for our economy, and it’s good for the environment. ”
