WASHINGTON—The White House plans an aggressive public campaign to build support for its approach to reduce the deficit through tax increases and spending cuts, a sharp contrast to its private talks with Republicans that faltered last year.

President Barack Obama will meet with labor leaders Tuesday and a number of chief executives on Wednesday, in an effort to solidify backing for his proposals.

Both groups carry sway with different segments of lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Mr. Obama also plans to travel outside of Washington to try and broaden national support for his proposal that includes tax increases on the wealthy—which White House officials believe won public backing in last week's election.

Mr. Obama has planned the meetings as policy makers start work to craft a package of deficit-reduction measures that could come in place of the so-called fiscal cliff, the mandatory spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to begin in January.

On no! The President is being Presidenty and using the bully pulpit. I'm sure no President has ever done THAT before. What a thug...

yeah, like we haven't had enough of his "bully pulpit"

but that's the kind of person you people seem to like..

very Presidential..bully the people into giving you your way

'If you look carefully, President Obama has never explicitly stated that taxing the rich will bring in much revenue. Instead, the president has made sure to give voters the impression that the Republican refusal to tax the rich is the main cause of the deficit and thus the main obstacle to solving the fiscal crisis. For instance, Obama stated that “tax cuts that went to every millionaire and billionaire in the country” will “force us to borrow an average of $500 billion every year over the next decade.” This message has been widely repeated: Jon Stewart, for instance, has assured his impressionable audience that without the Bush tax cuts, future deficits would not be a major problem.

But how much revenue are we really talking about? According to the New York Times, the president’s plan to abolish the Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 is expected to bring in merely $0.7 trillion over the next decade, or about 0.4 percent of Gross Domestic Product per year. As a comparison, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the deficit over the same period is going to be $13 trillion, more than 6 percent of GDP per year.'

Obama

Obama is evil.

And naturally you can provide some examples of this "ugly" disrespect? Did he dismiss 47% of the country as "irresponsible" during a secretly taped meeting? No, he didn't which is one of the reasons he won.

well we are all happy to know this

 

[rightwinger]

That is the way Reagan got his tax cuts through

 

[Katzndogz]

obama sees all revenue as taxes and eliminates all forms of economic growth. Either he doesn't understand economic growth or fully intends that there be no economic growth.

That Reagan was such a Chicago style thug!

Nevermind.

The fiscal cliff will do that nicely.

As part of a $4 trll debt reduction over the next ten years, $.7 trill is significant ... me thinks.

I think the unions, specifically the UAW and GM should pay back the 16 billion they got from the tax payers.

That's more money than would be realized by taxing those evil rich people.

It's basic capitalism. If things appear to be getting worked out, people fell better and go out and spend. Spending leads to more jobs, more jobs lead to more tax revenue, more revenue leads to lower deficits. Why do you need to be schooled on a daily basis? Alzheimer's kicking in?

Oh wait. You get an Obamaphone.

"Obamaphone" was started by Regean you partisan hack under the name Lifeline project.. In fact, the Obama administration has not touched the service. The last president to expand it was Boooooosh in 2003.

Judging by the idiocy of that pie chart I am guessing you made it?

Very scientific, be sure to leave out even more info next time.

You are the MOST useless poster on here next to LGS.
