I believe that because I believe in you. (Applause.) As tough as times have been, you’re tougher. I’ve seen your passion. I’ve seen your service. I’ve seen your generation eager and impatient to make a difference. And already, you’ve proved that you can.
Think about it, four years ago, you believed we could put a college education within the reach of all who were willing to work for it. So we created a college tax credit that’s saving families up to $10,000 for college tuition over four years. (Applause.) We took on a student loan system that was giving billions of taxpayer dollars to big banks, and we said let’s give the money directly to students, and we doubled grant aid for millions of students. (Applause.)
We just won the fight to keep federal student loans from doubling for more than 7 million students. That would not have happened in Washington except for you. Your vote did that. You made that change. You helped millions of young people and maybe yourself get the kind of college education you deserve. (Applause.) Don’t believe them when they tell you, you can’t make a difference.
You believed four years ago that we could use less foreign oil and reduce the carbon pollution that threatens our planet. And in just four years, we’ve doubled — doubled — the generation of clean, renewable energy like wind and solar. (Applause.)
We developed new fuel standards so that your car will get nearly 55 miles per gallon by the middle of the next decade. (Applause.) That’s going to save you money at the pump. That will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a level roughly equivalent to a year’s worth of emissions from all the cars in the world. (Applause.)
