We’ve already created, with your help, 800,000 good-paying manufacturing jobs - the fastest growth in 40 years.Īnd where is it written - where is it written that America can’t lead the world in manufacturing? And I don’t know where that’s written.įor too many decades, we imported projects and exported jobs. Where is it written that America can’t lead the world in manufacturing again?- President Biden February 8, 2023
Our Administration created 800,000 manufacturing jobs – the fastest growth in 40 years. It’s about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, ‘Honey, it’s going to be okay’ and mean it.” But my dad used to say, “Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck.” He really would say this. I know a lot of you always kid me for always quoting my dad. Because when the middle class does well, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy still do very well. To build an economy from the bottom up and the middle out, not from the top down. To make sure the economy works for everyone so we can all feel that pride in what we do. I ran for President to fundamentally change things.
And along the way, something else we lost: pride, our sense of self-worth. Once-thriving cities and towns that many of you represent became shadows of what they used to be. Too many good-paying manufacturing jobs moved overseas. We’ve been sent here to finish the job, in my view.įor decades, the middle class has been hollowed out in more than - and not in one administration, but for a long time. I think - folks, you all are just as informed as I am, but I think the people sent us a clear message: Fighting for the sake of fighting, power for the sake of power, conflict for the sake of conflict gets us nowhere. And, in fact - it’s important.Īnd, in fact, I signed over 300 bipartisan pieces of legislation since becoming President, from reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act to the Electoral Count Reform Act, the Respect for Marriage Act that protects the right to marry the person you love.Īnd to my Republican friends, if we could work together in the last Congress, there’s no reason we can’t work together and find consensus on important things in this Congress as well. We came together to pass one the most significant law ever helping victims exposed to toxic burn pits. You came together to pass one in a gen- one-in-a-generation - once-in-a-generation infrastructure law building bridges connecting our nation and our people. Came together to defend a stronger and safer Europe. And yes, there were times when Democrats went alone.īut time and again, Democrats and Republicans came together. There's no reason we can't do it again.- President Biden February 8, 2023 We're told that Democrats and Republicans can't work together. Look, folks, that’s what we’re doing again. We’re the only country that has emerged from every crisis we’ve ever entered stronger than we got into it. Well, I tell you what - I want to give specolec- special recognition to someone who I think is going to be considered the greatest Speaker in the history of the House of Representatives: Nancy Pelosi.įolks, the story of America is a story of progress and resilience, of always moving forward, of never, ever giving up. You know, I think you - only this time you have a slightly bigger majority, Mr. Where are you, Mitch?Īnd congratulations to Chuck Schumer, another - you know, another term as Senate Minority Leader. He won despite the fact I campaigned for him.Ĭongratulations to the longest-serving Leader in the history of the United States Senate, Mitch McConnell. Speaker, I don’t want to ruin your reputation, but I look forward to working with you.Īnd I want to congratulate the new Leader of the House Democrats, the first African American Minority Leader in history, Hakeem Jeffries. You know, I start tonight by congratulating the 118th Congress and the new Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. Members of the Cabinet, leaders of our military, Chief Justice, Associate Justices, and retired Justices of the Supreme Court, and to you, my fellow Americans:
