According to the Associated Press news agency, request that Obama delivered the speech in Congress on Thursday night in Washington, DC (Friday morning GMT). Rarely can the president called on Congress, from both the House and Senate, to hold a special joint session to hear his speech.
Obama stated that the provision of employment and tax cuts will cost U.S. $ 450 billion. "This plan is the right thing for the applied current. You have to authenticate it and I want to convey this message to all corners of the country," Obama said of his plan, which called the Employment Act Americans.
Among the application of Obama's plan is to cut the amount of salary deductions for Social Security for tens of millions of workers and their employers as well. Also Obama wants to tax workers was reduced to 3.1 percent.
Obama also suggested that many schools and roads across the United States improved by deploying many residents are still unemployed, employed many teachers and police, as well as extending unemployment benefits. He also wants tax breaks for businesses that hire people unemployed for six months or more.
"This plan will cut taxes for companies that hire new workers and will also cut taxes by half for the workers and small businesses," Obama said.
Unemployment became a major problem for the Obama administration, whose popularity was declining. A total of 14 million residents are still unemployed and this makes the U.S. jobless rate remained high at 9.1 percent. Public confidence in the Obama administration in the economic field has been declining.
Meanwhile, according to BBC news stations, the opposition of Republicans think Obama's cynical speech. They assess the proposal was part of Obama's campaign scenario ahead of the presidential election of 2012.
"This is clearly a political show and a war between the classes," said Paul Broun, Republican House members who represent the state of Georgia, in his account on Twitter.
