If we want to deliver opportunity for all, we need an economy that delivers jobs for the future.

If we truly want to achieve lasting economic growth, we need our businesses to do more business - and we need them to do it in America.

And innovation and entrepreneurship is the opportunity and best opportunity we have to grow the economy.

What I believe in, in terms of getting our economy going again, is that we need to invest in opportunity today for prosperity tomorrow.

We need to have a strong economy that can create employment opportunities and that can also produce the revenue that we need to defend our country at home and abroad.

As business people, we have to remind ourselves that it's up to us to create jobs. It's up to us as business people to drive the economy, and no one else.

We need to make investment to get the economy going again, to give the private sector the confidence.

To me it's incontrovertible that investment in people, investment in business, creates jobs; they don't destroy jobs.

Well, our economy is very strong and growing. We have created 5.4 million new jobs in the last 3 years. Our unemployment rate is better than the average unemployment rate of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

We need to invest in a way that makes sure we've got the workforce we need in the future.
