Policy

We have a zero-tolerance policy for guns in our schools.

Lack of adequate private health insurance options is a disincentive to leave Social Security programs for work.

This Act will enable the NSF to continue to play an important leadership role in sustaining scientific and technological progress.

We've worked to secure the Medicare Trust Fund for a decade.

First, we have to strengthen and protect the guarantee of Social Security for the 21st century.

I have renewed the national emergency declared in Executive Order 12938 annually.

Today I am expanding existing Executive order authority to enhance America's ability to deal with one of the toughest security challenges we face: the spread of weapons of mass destruction and missiles to deliver such weapons.

I will continue to work with Congress to ensure that America's policy provides tough penalties—and also sufficient flexibility to give us the best chance to achieve positive results.

We shouldn't abandon a basic program that has been one of America's greatest successes.

Anything we do to strengthen Social Security now must maintain our hard-won fiscal discipline.

Let's deal with first things first.

We must act and act now to save Social Security.

I think we should continue to aggressively pursue those protections in our trade relations.

My Administration has made addressing the threat of global climate change one of our top environmental priorities.

Now is the time to strengthen public education, not to drain precious resources from it.

I think we will pass fast track next year.

The right to an appeal is meaningless if health plans can disregard these decisions.

We will never jail our way out of America's problems, and you know that.
