Transcription

During the past year, thousands of families have moved into new homes that once seemed out of reach. People are buying new cars they once thought they couldn't afford. Workers are returning to factories that just four years ago were closed. And America is back with a sense of pride people thought we'd never feel again. Now that our country is turning around, why would we ever turn back?
