SOTU: Proposte economiche di Will Obama lavoro

SOTU: Proposte economiche di Will Obama lavoro:  COMMENT in his third State of the Union speech on Tuesday night, President Obama outlined a "blueprint" for the United States economy that has emphasized the need to give all Americans ' Fair shot, "Reaffirming its longstanding message that" Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a Government and a financial system that does the same thing ".

Before the President's address, I said that he should do two things: defend the Administration's economic policies until today and talk about what will be done from this point forward, to solve the economic problems of the nation.

However, except for the bailout of the auto sector and a brief mention of a few other initiatives such as financial reform, the President has not said much of the past economic policies of his administration. In retrospect, that was probably wise. Trying to convince people that the policies of stimulus and bailout were more effective than they realize simply brings these issues to the fore. The policies were very unpopular, and arguing with the public about their success is a losing proposition. It is better to look forward. As Obama said in the speech:

I want to talk about how we move forward and roll out a project for an economy that is built to last-an economy built on American, American energy production, skills for American workers and a renewal of American values.

The President began the discussion of his economic initiatives that outlines a proposal to revive production in the United States. The plan is to use tax breaks to encourage businesses to locate in the United States, to keep jobs at home by eliminating the tax benefits for firms that move offshore to lower corporate taxes in the United States and to appeal to the goodwill of u.s. companies (which should do what they can do to bring back jobs in this country).

Obama also wants to Boost exports. To this end, the President proposed more trade agreements (and praised those that the Administration has already put in place), and he highlighted the creation of a "Trade Enforcement Unit that will have the task of investigating unfair commercial practices in countries like China."

Finally, the plan to revive employment and economic growth also involved more support for small businesses. For example, tax cuts and reduced regulatory burden, support for research and development (in particular in energy related areas), mortgage refinancing for homeowners "responsible", an extension of the payroll tax cuts and a plan for repairing crumbling infrastructure.

The plan the President outlined okay as far as goes, but I wanted a work plan that was big and bold. I wanted a plan that puts the creation of immediate employment. However, the Obama plan is formed largely by tax cuts, is fragmentary and is primarily directed at our long-term problems. Bring home the business doesn't happen overnight. R & s takes time, and so does investment in infrastructure.

Millions of people need jobs now, not later. Don't have time to wait, for example, to move production from China back in the United States, and there is no certainty that it will happen anyway. Missing from the speech was a strong and coherent plan to create jobs immediately. Don't get me wrong--we must address our long-term problems. But we also need to get people to work as soon as possible.

Obama's education initiatives also address long-term rather than short-term problems. His call to improve education at all levels and to ensure that higher education is available to all, is certainly welcome and would in the long term, but did not create many jobs in the coming months. He called for improved job retraining programs and "a national commitment to train 2 million Americans with the skills that will lead directly to a work", but also those programs will take time to implement.

Obama also mentioned other issues in the speech, such as the budget deficit and the need to regulate the financial markets. The most important proposals are its plan to impose a minimum rate of 30 per cent tax for income over a million dollars a year and the surprisingly strong commitment to prosecute financial fraud. The Administration will create "financial crimes unit investigators altame

State of Union address: 2012 Obama speech outlines the American dream, the re-election of strategy

State of Union address: 2012 Obama speech outlines the American dream, the re-election of strategy:     
In his last State of the Union address before the 2012 election, President Obama urged Congress to work together to rebuild the coveted American dream.

Our 44th President, promised in a memorable phrase, "no bail-out, no hand-outs, no cop outs" for financial institutions that helped derail the American economy.

Obama spoke of the "fair" tax reform with a thinly veiled reference to phrases Republicans presidential candidates have used against him repeatedly in debates.

"You can call this ' class war ' all you want," he said, calling it pure equity. Without doubt, the State of the Union address 2012 was a campaign speech:

He said that Americans must get past personal ambition and partisan obsession "focus on the mission at hand" and keep alive the dream of restoring the economy.

"No challenge is more urgent. No discussion is more important, "he said.

"We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people doing really well, while a growing number barely get. Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share and all games by the same rules. "

"We want to keep tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans? Or want to invest in all the rest? Not if we're seriously paying down our debt, we can do both. "

Refutations were quickly and predictably by political opponents.

Indiana gov. Mitch Daniels, who delivered the GOP "official" response, said that strict adherence to the ideology was President stifle innovation:

"Extremism that stifles the development of homegrown energy or cancel a perfectly safe pipeline that employs tens of thousands, or Jack up consumer bills for any improvement in human health or global temperature, is a political pro-poverty".

"We cannot accept that we will always be a nation of haves and have-nots; We must always be a nation of haves and soon-to-haves, "said Daniels.

On Fox News, Sean Hannity interviewed GOP candidate Mitt Romney, who argues that, based on this night, the President is "disconnected from reality."

The highest point in the evening's bipartisan occurred shortly before the speech, like Obama, in making its way to the podium, paused to hug Gabrielle Giffords Rep.

Giffords is resigning from Congress this week to recover from his brain injury. A chant of "Gabby, Gabby, Gabby" could be heard throughout the House flo
