Working together, America has done well. Our
economy is breaking records with more than 22
million new jobs, the lowest unemployment in 30
years, the highest homeownership ever, the longest
expansion in history. Our families and communities
are stronger. Thirty-five million Americans have used
the family leave law; 8 million have moved off
welfare. Crime is at a 25-year low. Over 10 million
Americans receive more college aid, and more
people than ever are going to college. Our schools
are better. Higher standards, greater accountability,
and larger investments have brought higher test
scores and higher graduation rates. More than 3
million children have health insurance now, and
more than 7 million Americans have been lifted out
of poverty. Incomes are rising across the board.
