Before we do [laughter] i wanted to make a somewhat broader statement about the economy. Ash is willing to indulge me. Last month, americas businesses created more than 300,000 jobs. This keeps a pace this year that we have not seen since the 1990s. So far this year, over the first 11 months of 2014, our economy has created 2. 6 5 million jobs. That is more than in any entire year since the 1990s. Our businesses have created 10. 9 million jobs over the past 57 months in a row and that is the longest streak of private sector job growth on record. We also know that the pickup and the pace of job growth has been in industries with higher wages. Overall wages are rising. That is a welcome sign for millions of americans. We have an opportunity to keep up this progress if congress is willing to keep our government open, avoid selfinflicted wounds, and Work Together to invest in the

Friends, washingtonians, and citizens listen up. I come here today not to bury marion but to praise him. When marion was born to the theme park we call life, he open the gate. He looked and left and saw the highest space marilyn. Space mountain. Helooked to the right and saw the highest of the fine roller coaster in the world. And he saw a big fares will in front of him.

I see nothing wrong with that. Thats progression. Thats a normal progression. You can watch the full interview and are conversation with tom petri at 8 00 eastern on cspan.
