This Nation is the world's foremost manufacturer, farmer, banker, consumer, and exporter.

The product of our abundance must be used more effectively to relieve hunger and help economic growth in all corners of the globe.

And while no nation has ever faced such a challenge, no nation has ever been so ready to seize the burden and the glory of freedom.

First, we need to strengthen our Nation by investing in our youth.
