Obama to outline new plans for jobless next week

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will announce a new plan next week to help Americans who continue to struggle to find jobs even as the economy recovers from recession, his senior adviser, Dan Pfeiffer, said on Saturday.

Obama's efforts to help the long-term unemployed are part of an economic strategy he will lay out in his annual State of the Union address on Tuesday and expound upon during a four-state tour, Pfeiffer said in a mass email from the White House.

"With some action on all our parts, we can help more job seekers find work, and more working Americans find the economic security they deserve," Pfeiffer said in his email.

Obama has vowed to address the gap between rich and poor in America, and has said he will do what he can - even without help from a deeply divided Congress that, so far, has shown little willingness to spend money on new programs.

He has said he will take executive actions to push forward his agenda, as well as the power of the highest office in the nation to motivate business and community leaders to take additional steps.

A White House official said Obama will announce in his Tuesday speech new executive actions on retirement security and job training to help middle-class workers "expand economic opportunity" - a key theme of the speech.

He’d going to propose a fedgov program that will consist of two work teams. Both will be paid prevailing union wages as long as they join the union and donate to the DNC.

One work team will dig holes. The other work team will fill them in.

He is SO clever!

the good news, that is for anyone who wants to see all the Marxists arrested, is that this can’t go on forever.

I’m still waiting for him to unveil make-work jobs. I’m honestly surprised he’s made no mention of those.

Man, that sure is a well-built gate. Some real craftsmanship went into it, you can tell just from the picture. Old world craftsmanship, sturdy and strong, yet... elegant in a certain way.

I wonder who built it?

His fix will be unlimted unemployment, unlimited food stamps and a $15 an hour minimum wage. See, no one has to suffer.
