My first two years in office spurred the strongest economic recovery in recent history. Today, I'm releasing my Economic Blueprint, a look at how our wins are rebuilding an economy that works for working families.

It's long. So here are the big things:
My economic plan and this Administration's COVID response have driven the strongest, most equitable job market recovery in recent history.

We'll build on that by continuing to create good-paying jobs and empowering workers to have unionization opportunities and dignity at work. Chart showing economy recovering lost jobs faster than in an
My policies are encouraging businesses to invest in America.

By investing in infrastructure, clean energy, and domestic manufacturing, we are making and building in America again.
We're getting families who need it the most some breathing room.

My Administration took on special interests and won, lowering prescription drug and health care costs. We've also expanded access to high-speed internet, education, child care and long-term care, housing, and more.
I've made American industry more competitive and resilient by taking on corporate concentration, promoting small businesses and entrepreneurs – including minority- and women-owned businesses – and supporting resilient supply chains.
With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, my economic plan is delivering a fairer tax code where the wealthy and largest, most profitable corporations pay their fair share. Chart showing the audit rates for millionaires between 2010
We're delivering. And over time, my Economic Blueprint will build on our progress, allowing us to tackle the tough economic challenges that I ran for office to address.

Together, we'll build an innovative, resilient, and fair economy that grows from the bottom up and middle out.

Thousands of Americans have texted in to tell me what this Administration's student debt relief plan means to them and their families.

Let me take a moment to share a few:
Mathew from Utah let me know this new student loan debt plan will finally allow him to qualify and afford to buy a home.

He said it represents relief. And when his payments do continue in 2023, he said this plan would restore some breathing room in his family's budget.
Kamia is an educator and Pell Grant recipient who works with low-income students. She shared that it's been tough to make payments on top of her mortgage.

Under my Administration's student loan debt relief and Public Service Loan Forgiveness, she said her balance could be gone.

While today's Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade puts at risk the health and lives of women across America, most states in this country still recognize a woman's right to choose. Here’s what you should know.
If you live in a state that restricts abortion, today's decision does NOT prevent you from traveling to a state that allows it.

If a state or local official tries to interfere with you exercising this basic right, I'll do everything in my power to fight that un-American attack.
My Administration will protect a woman's access to medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration, like contraception and mifepristone, a FDA-approved drug that safely ends an early pregnancy of up to ten weeks and is commonly used to treat miscarriages.

As a father and a grandfather, I understand how difficult the formula shortage has been for families all across the country.

It’s why I’ve directed my Administration to use every tool available to increase supply and get more formula on shelves as quickly as possible.
We’ve taken three key actions.

First, I invoked the Defense Production Act. A measure to make sure that manufacturers are first in line for the materials and ingredients they need to make safe, high-quality infant formula here at home.
Second, I launched Operation Fly Formula. A major effort to air-lift infant formula that meets American health and safety standards.

Today, I’m proud to say that because of these flights, high-quality formula is already on its way to American shelves.

I’ve gotten to know George Floyd’s family over the years and I promised them that his name will not just become a hashtag. Today, I signed an Executive Order to deliver on that promise and enact the most significant police reform in decades.

Here’s what it will do:
First, the Executive Order promotes accountability. It creates a new national law enforcement accountability database, strengthens pattern and practice investigations, and mandates all federal agents wear and activate body cameras while on patrol.
Second, the Executive Order raises standards. It bans chokeholds, restricts no-knock entries, and tightens use-of-force policies to emphasize de-escalation and the duty to intervene.

Third, it modernizes policing with new tools to screen and vet officers.

Looking ahead, I have a plan to reduce the deficit even more, which will help reduce inflationary pressures and lower everyone’s costs.
It’s a plan that lets Medicare negotiate the price of prescription drugs, as they do with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

We can cap the price of insulin at $35 instead of hundreds of dollars or even $1,000 a month for some families.
My plan provides tax credits to utility companies to generate clean energy and those companies are required to pass on those savings to families.

America is a nation of laws and second chances, redemption, and rehabilitation. During Second Chance Month, I am using my authority under the Constitution to uphold those values by pardoning and commuting the sentences of fellow Americans.
Today, I am pardoning three people who are striving every day to give back and contribute to their communities. I am also commuting the sentences of 75 people who are serving long sentences for non-violent drug offenses.
We are also announcing new steps to support those re-entering society after incarceration. Helping those who served their time return to their families and become contributing members of their communities is one of the most effective ways to reduce recidivism and decrease crime.
