In his sixth State of the Union address, President George W. Bush discusses his ideas for economic reform, making health care more affordable, improving education, and energy innovation.  Bush focuses on the current economic growth and illustrates the link between developing alternative energies, continued economic progress, and national security.  In addition to balancing the federal budget, Bush looks to help struggling workers, seniors, and children by fixing entitlements, reauthorize No Child Left Behind, and create a tax deduction for health insurance.  He also emphasizes the recent victories in the Middle East while recognizing the persistent threat of terrorism.
