The Union will say who merits the pay.

This is just Obama speech.
"I am taking the troops out of Iraq," "Iam closing Guantanamo," etc. "I am assuring the poor that the Sun will rise tomorow and we have a plan to make sure it continues everyday, this is not a partisan issue, and I cannot understand why the Republicans are against this."

"OK what’s the catch?"

Just another way to increase spending on education.
