Remarks on the Economy: President Obama made a visit to the Port of New Orleans in Louisiana to talk about the economy. In his speech, he discussed the importance of investing in our nation’s infrastructure so that more products stamped “Made in America” can be sold around the world.
“So let's make it easier for more businesses to expand and grow and sell more goods made in America to the rest of the world,” he said. “Let’s make sure we’ve got the best ports and roads and bridges and schools.”
He also called on members of Congress to work together to pass a farm bill, fix our broken immigration system, set a responsible budget, and work on growing the economy.
Growing our economy, creating new jobs, helping middle-class families regain a sense of stability and security so they can find good jobs and make sure that their kids are doing even better than they did — that’s always been what America is about, but for too many people, that sense that you can make it here if you try, that sense has been slipping away. And my driving focus has been to restore that sense of security, and it should be Washington's focus, regardless of party. That’s what everybody in Washington should be thinking about every day.
