We have become stronger economically; we have been successfully resolving the social problems, raising the level of living - the standards of living - of the population.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The more we can do to create a better society, that benefits more people, the better chance we have that our society will continue to grow and prosper.
We are living longer, and we need to live better.
By strengthening the economy, providing job opportunity and meeting the needs of working families, we can ensure the continued prosperity of our nation.
We're at unique point in history where the things that we are building are going to significantly impact our social, political, economical, and personal lives.
In my fifty years of experience and memory, I have seen the most amazing increase in the standard of living of a people ever achieved anywhere in the world. This is why I am so sure that our system of free competition and industrial development is sound and must be preserved.
We need fundamental change. In the past, national development led to people's happiness but now the link between national growth and improvement in people's lives has been severed.
We have to improve life, not just for those who have the most skills and those who know how to manipulate the system. But also for and with those who often have so much to give but never get the opportunity.
We like to believe that, in our lifetime, the human condition is improving.
We should see better and more direct measurements of economic well being.
We can no longer prosper by increasing human productivity. The more we try to do, the more poverty we will create.
