Summary:
Three highlights from the President's speech on the economy in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Today, the President spoke at the University of Wisconsin in La Crosse, reflecting on the great strides America has made in the past six years in economic reform. With over 64 months of private sector job growth and the lowest uninsured rate ever, the United States had made great progress in helping middle class families, but our work isn't done.
Here are our top three moments from the speech:
