pleased to report that the state of america's business is improving and our economy is gaining strength. since the great recession officially ended in july of 2009, the american economy has struggled to regain its footing. the recovery has been the slowest and the weakest since world war ii. the 21 million americans who are unemployed, under employed or who have just given up looking for work, have paid a very heavy price and they still are. middle-class families have not yet seen decent increases in their real incomes for a long time. it's convenient to blame all of this on the severity of the downturn, but let's face the facts -- misguided government policies have also slowed our growth and caused americans a lot of jobs and a lot of raises. we must fix these mistakes and not repeat them going forward. this year, we have an opportunity to turn the page. overall growth for 2013 will probably come in just at between 1.8 pr and 2%. we should do considerably better this year with growth accelerating to near 3%. housing is recovering and overall household wealth is now surpassed its pre-recession levels. this has boosted consumption, which is leading to more bus
