I was thinking about this last week.
On the day I announced the end to our combat mission in Iraq, I spent some time, as I often do, with our soldiers and veterans.
This new generation of troops coming home from Iraq has earned its place alongside that greatest generation.
Like them, they have the skills and training and drive to move America’s economy forward once more, and from the time I took office, we’ve been investing in new care, new opportunity, and a new commitment to their service that’s worthy of their sacrifice.
But, they’re coming home to an economy hit by recession deeper than any we’ve seen, and the question is, how do we create the same kind of middle class opportunity my grandparents’ generation came home to?
How do we build our economy on the same kind of strong, stable foundation for growth?
We didn’t become the most prosperous country in the world by rewarding greed and recklessness.
We didn’t come this far by letting special interests run wild.
We didn’t do it by just gambling and chasing paper profits on Wall Street.
We did it by producing goods we could sell; we did it with sweat and effort and innovation.
We did it by investing in the people who built this country from the ground up, workers, and middle-class families, and small business owners.
We did it by out-working, out-educating, and out-competing everyone else.
Well, I refuse to go backwards, And that’s the choice America faces this fall.
Do we go back to the policies of the past?
Or do we move forward?
I say we move forward. America always moves forward, and we are going to keep moving forward today.
