Obama urges Congress to act to help economy

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:25:07 +0000

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) – President Barack Obama on Tuesday called on Congress to replicate its recent passage of the payroll tax cut extension by passing more bipartisan legislation to help the economy without getting distracted by the coming fall presidential election. “There is a lot more we can do, and there is plenty of time to do it,” Obama said during an event at the White House. He said Congress should take up other parts of his agenda, and mentioned specifically a proposal that would help more homeowners refinance underwater mortgages and a separate plan to small companies export. In addition, Obama said Congress should pass the so-called ‘Buffett rule’ to make sure that Americans with over million in annual income pay a 30% tax rate. Obama said the White House would continue to try to find ways to help the economy that don’t require congressional action. “Instead of spending the coming months in a lot of phony political debates, [and] focusing on the next election, I hope that we spend some time focusing on middle-class Americans,” Obama said.
