Obama would raise taxes to pay for his jobs bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a sharp challenge to the GOP, President Barack Obama proposed paying for his costly new jobs plan Monday with tax hikes that Republicans have already emphatically rejected. The reception to his new proposal was no more welcoming, setting the stage for a likely new fight with Congress.

Flanked at the White House by workers he said the legislation would help, Obama declared, "This is the bill that Congress needs to pass. No games. No politics. No delays." He sent it to Capitol Hill saying, "The only thing that's stopping it is politics."

The president's proposal drew criticism from House Speaker John Boehner, who'd previously responded in cautious but somewhat receptive tones to the $447 billion jobs plan made up of tax cuts and new spending that Obama first proposed in an address to Congress last Thursday.

I usually don't post anything dealing with this dude but I'm sure Ion would love him for this plan of disaster.
Brn2bfree should have a filled day tearing this apart along with the Republicans.
This was a lengthy report but I had to stop after the first five paragraphs.
Pauligan has to agree with both of us this thing isn't going to work.
Why doesn't this dude just give up ???
Why should we pay for jobs ?
