The President spoke. Now:

# # #

The White House Sat. February 8, 2014
 

The President spoke. Now:

When President Obama took the stage to deliver this year's State of the Union, he told the American people that he intends for 2014 to be a year of action. He said:

"…What I offer tonight is a set of concrete, practical proposals to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class, and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class. Some require Congressional action, and I'm eager to work with all of you.

But America does not stand still -- and neither will I. So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that's what I'm going to do."

Those weren't just lines in a speech. It's been just 11 days since the State of the Union. In that time, the President has:

  • Directed the Department of the Treasury to create starter "myRA" accounts that will make it easier for Americans to save for retirement.
  • Ordered a government-wide review of federal training programs to make sure Americans get in-demand skills for good jobs.
  • Taken executive action to assist millions of long-term unemployed Americans -- and more than 300 companies have already committed to the Administration's best practices for hiring and recruiting the long-term unemployed.
  • Announced a major new commitment that will connect more than 20 million students to high-speed Internet -- and the private sector stepped up to the plate with more than $750 million in commitments to help make it happen.

And next Wednesday, he'll be using his pen again.

Don't take our word for it. See for yourself what action looks like -- and if you're ready for a year of action in 2014, let the President know you're in.

Watch: 2014 is a Year of Action

Families across the country deserve action that gives them a fair shot at getting ahead and creating better lives for themselves.

The President's going to do everything in his power to make sure they get it.

Take a look, pass it on, and let the President know you're going to be fighting with him in 2014.

Economic Benefits of the Affordable Care Act

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, 5 million people will save an average of $4,700 on their health insurance in 2014. In 2016, approximately 19 million people will benefit from even larger savings.

Each year, millions of people will benefit from tax credits worth thousands.

Jason Furman, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, explained that the latest analysis of the Affordable Care Act from the Congressional Budget Office shows why the Affordable Care Act " will make it easier for people take a risk and start a business, take time out of the labor force to raise a family, or retire when they are ready."
