President Calls for Change via State of the Union
Last night President Obama gave his first State of the Union address of his second term. He addressed universal preschool, tax reform, immigration reform, a minimum wage increase up to $9 per hour, a cap-and-trade program for carbon emissions, infrastructure investments, new housing incentives, manufacturing incentives, energy plans, a program for scoring college education by affordability, and paycheck equity. Republicans responded with Senator Marco Rubio, saying the president's solution is -- quote "to virtually every problem we face is for Washington to tax more, borrow more and spend more."
The partisan divide was alive and well last night.
The president is in Asheville, NC today, promoting themes from his speech. Tell us what you think about last nights State of the Union. Tweet me @WoodworthCourt
