President Biden is expected to touch on a number of hot topics during his State of the Union speech Thursday night.
In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation.Hitler was on the march. War was raging in Europe.
Overseas, Putin of Russia is on the march, invading Ukraine and sowing chaos throughout Europe and beyond.But Ukraine can stop Putin if we stand with Ukraine and provide the weapons it needs to defend itself. That is all Ukraine is asking. They are not asking for American soldiers.But now assistance for Ukraine is being blocked by those who want us to walk away from our leadership in the world.
Her doctors told Kate that her own life and her ability to have children in the future were at risk if she didn’t act. Many of you in this Chamber and my predecessor are promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom.In its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade the Supreme Court majority wrote, “Women are not without – electoral or political power.”Clearly, those bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade have no clue about the power of women in America.
Four years ago next week, before I came to office, our country was hit by the worst pandemic and the worst economic crisis in a century.A raging virus that would take more than 1 million American lives and leave millions of loved ones behind.A president, my predecessor, who failed the most basic duty. Any President owes the American people the duty to care.I came to office determined to get us through one of the toughest periods in our nation’s history.
During the pandemic a shortage of semiconductor chips drove up prices for everything from cell phones to automobiles. Thanks to our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, 46,000 new projects have been announced across your communities – modernizing our roads and bridges, ports and airports, and public transit systems.
This year Medicare is negotiating lower prices for some of the costliest drugs on the market that treat everything from heart disease to arthritis. I enacted tax credits that save $800 per person per year reducing health care premiums for millions of working families.Women are more than half of our population but research on women’s health has always been underfunded.
I’ve cut red tape so more builders can get federal financing, which is already helping build a record 1.7 million housing units nationwide.To remain the strongest economy in the world we need the best education system in the world.Studies show that children who go to pre-school are nearly 50% more likely to finish high school and go on to earn a 2- or 4-year degree no matter their background.
He’s educated hundreds of students so they can go to college now he can help his own daughter pay for college. In 2020 55 of the biggest companies in America made $40 Billion in profits and paid zero in federal income taxes.But that’s still less than working people pay in federal taxes. Imagine a future with home care and elder care so seniors and people living with disabilities can stay in their homes and family caregivers get paid what they deserve!Many of my Republican friends want to put Social Security on the chopping block.
In fact, snack companies think you won’t notice when they charge you just as much for the same size bag but with fewer chips in it.I’m also getting rid of junk fees those hidden fees added at the end of your bills without your knowledge. My administration just announced we’re cutting credit card late fees from $32 to just $8.I’m saving American families $20 billion a year with all of the junk fees I’m eliminating.
Home to Native Americans whose ancestors have been here for thousands of years. Home to people from every place on Earth.Some to flee persecution.That’s America, where we all come from somewhere, but we are all Americans.A transformational moment in our history happened 59 years ago today in Selma, Alabama.
And patterned after the Peace Corps and Ameri Corps, I’ve launched a Climate Corps to put 20,000 young people to work at the forefront of our clean energy future.All Americans deserve the freedom to be safe, and America is safer today than when I took office.That was then. I did do something by establishing the first-ever Office of Gun Violence Prevention in the White House that Vice President Harris is leading.After another school shooting in Iowa he said we should just “get over it.”I’m proud we beat the NRA when I signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years!Pass universal background checks!As we manage challenges at home, we’re also managing crises abroad including in the Middle East.
The United States has been leading international efforts to get more humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
