Obama budget pitch: 'Can't just cut our way into growth'
President Barack Obama unveiled his budget proposal at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Va., Monday morning, saying, “The main idea in the budget in this: At a time when our economy is growing and creating jobs at a faster clip, we’ve got to do everything in our power to keep this recovery on track."
President Barack Obama delivers remarks on his FY 2013 budget to students at Northern Virginia Community College.
He said his proposals would “invest in the things that will help grow our economy right now. We can’t cut back on those things that are important for us to grow. We can’t just cut our way into growth. We can cut back on the things that we don’t need, but we also have to make sure everyone is paying their fair share for the things that we do need.”
Among the items Obama said America needs are tax breaks for companies to manufacture in the United States, rather than overseas, and aid for students to study at community colleges and other institutions where they can learn marketable skills.
