Obama to outline new plans for jobless next week
Yahoo! News ^ | 1/25/14 | Roberta Rampton - Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will announce a new plan next week to help Americans who continue to struggle to find jobs even as the economy recovers from recession, his senior adviser, Dan Pfeiffer, said on Saturday.

Obama's efforts to help the long-term unemployed are part of an economic strategy he will lay out in his annual State of the Union address on Tuesday and expound upon during a four-state tour, Pfeiffer said in a mass email from the White House.

"With some action on all our parts, we can help more job seekers find work, and more working Americans find the economic security they deserve," Pfeiffer said in his email.

Obama has vowed to address the gap between rich and poor in America, and has said he will do what he can - even without help from a deeply divided Congress that, so far, has shown little willingness to spend money on new programs.

He has said he will take executive actions to push forward his agenda, as well as the power of the highest office in the nation to motivate business and community leaders to take additional steps.

A White House official said Obama will announce in his Tuesday speech new executive actions on retirement security and job training to help middle-class workers "expand economic opportunity" - a key theme of the speech.

More government jobs. There’s gonna be a big change in our structure. (Consumerism on its way out) No one’s going to have any income left after heating and health care for any extras. This will be just like life in the EU.

"new plans for jobless next week"

Here is a little preview - it will be straight from the Jimmy Carter / Left Wing playbook:

The Government is the "Employer of Last Resort".

So, why haven't they been doing that for the last 5 years?

Per some threads this week, we learned that the real 'unemployment' rate was closer to 37% than the 6.7% made up number.

Several of those big bail-out bills were supposed to help set up jobs. Remember the 'shovel ready jobs' promises?

This Administration has no clue as to what generates jobs. All they know how to do is tax and spend. And much of the spending goes to their cronies. Who got the initial contract for healthcare.gov? Friends of Michelle. And they screwed that up 'royally', as the saying goes.

Gotta keep those who vote for a living nice & dependent.

That’s about right. Don’t forget the paybacks for his donors (a la Solyndra).

He will manage to blame the Republicans and Bush, and the press will eat it up.

The press would not dare bring up the question: ‘What have YOU been doing for the last 5 years regarding the joblessness?’

“....as well as the power of the highest office....” That includes the NSA and the IRS. As I’ve said before, there are lots of powerful people behind the thrown.

The NSA and IRS are being used against congress. It’s about to be used against businesses. They are going to destroy their enemies. VJ told us they would.

“The unemployed receiving benefits will no longer be required to look for jobs...it’s screwing with our % unemployed numbers.”
