"A future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy and that is what we have. We are now in the 41st month of uninterrupted job growth in a recovery that has created 7.2 million new jobs ... so far. Unemployment is low, inflation is low, wages are rising. This economy is on the move and our job is to keep it that way, not with more government but with more enterprise."
"Next week, I will deliver a full report on the state of our economy. Tonight, I want to discuss three economic reforms that deserve to be priorities for this Congress."
