President Obama will discuss the “twin challenges of growing income inequality and shrinking economic mobility” in an address on Wednesday that will highlight his second-term economic priorities, according to the White House.
“The speech will provide a window into where the president will focus his energies over the next three years, and it is certainly a topic he will touch on in next year’s State of the Union address,” a White House official said Tuesday.
Obama’s speech at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank, will address how the income gap and limited mobility “pose a fundamental threat to the American Dream.”
“The president has said that this is the defining issue of our time – making sure our economy works for every working American—and that the decisions we make over the next few years will determine whether or not our children will grow up in an America where if you work hard, you can get ahead,” said the official.
