Investing in America's Prosperity

Statement

This week, President Obama delivered a strong vision in his State of the Union address of an economy that's built to last; one that ensures a thriving middle class, promotes fairness for working families, and reignites the American dream.

The pillars of President Obama's agenda are consistent with the American values of fairness, opportunity, and responsibility, and reflect the commitment of House Democrats to our "Make It In America' initiative, to rebuilding America, to strengthening our communities, to securing our energy future, and to providing students and workers with the skills to succeed.

Democrats understand that America's prosperity only goes as far as the success of our workers, the education of our children, the growth of our small businesses, and the economic security of our middle class. We are committed to policies that invest in innovation and technology, establish a level playing field with China and other trading partners, and create new well-paying jobs. Together, we can fulfill the promise of an America built to last.
