George W. Bush: “Defending our country and strengthening our economy are great priorities for 2002.”

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

Government does have a role to play in health care, but a robust private market is critical to ensuring that health care is affordable and accessible for all Americans.
