A
strong economy makes for a strong Nation Just a
little more than one year after President Donald J. Trump’s
Inauguration, the United States has reaped the benefits of what
the President calls the “American Model” economy.
“So
to every citizen at home tonight,” President Trump said
during his State of the Union address Tuesday night, “this is
your time.” That optimism and confidence has spread across
the country. More than 250 companies have announced bonuses,
pay raises, higher retirement plan contributions, or other
investments in their business or workforce.
The
President shared several
of these success stories during his speech Tuesday. Less
than 24 hours later, he met with seven more American workers in
the Oval Office to discuss how tax reform is benefitting their
companies.
“Millions
of Americans will have more take-home pay starting next month,”
the President told Americans this week. “A lot more.”
The
President’s speech in 88 seconds President Trump
had a busy first year—signing major tax reform legislation,
reasserting America on the global stage, and appointing Supreme
Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, for starters. With plenty of
accomplishments and a detailed vision for 2018 to share, the
President spoke for 1 hour and 20 minutes during Tuesday’s
State of the Union address. It was the third longest address of
the past 50 years.
If
you missed the President’s speech or simply want to relive
the highlights, this montage video clocks in at 1 minute and 28
seconds.
The
game plan to rebuild America One of the key themes
from President Trump’s State of the Union was the need to
address the deteriorating condition of American infrastructure.
“As we rebuild our industries, it is also time to rebuild our
crumbling infrastructure,” the President told Americans.
He
laid out a number of steps to do so, including:
“I
am asking both parties to come together to give us safe, fast,
reliable, and modern infrastructure that our economy needs and
our people deserve,” President Trump told Congress.
