Filling in for President Barack Obama in the weekly White House radio and Internet address, Biden asked listeners to tell Republican lawmakers "to step up" and approve the legislation.
"Tell them to stop worrying about their jobs and start worrying about yours because we're all in this together, and together is the way we're going to bring America back even stronger than it was before," Biden said.
Such a simple statement and what I get from it is that Biden is worry about his job and party.
It seems to me the Republican party is after a long term fix and are willing to look bad to the public to make it happen.
the president has used his executive authority to help veterans find jobs, homeowners refinance mortgages, and reduce the cost of student loans.
A end run around congress, the refinance mortgages would not be needed if the government had not pushed bad home loans. Student loans ... well that is just a lost. But all 3 are a targeted group and not at all helping the general welfare of America.
Senate Republicans on Thursday rejected a $60 billion bill that would have built and repaired infrastructure such as roads and rail lines. It was the third defeat for Obama's stimulus-style jobs agenda. Last month, Republicans blocked the $447 billion package and then Democratic efforts to win approval of a $35 billion piece of the legislation intended to prevent layoffs of teachers and firefighters
Again a targeted bill, states should be responsible for all 3 above. Oh granted it sounds good but just another sign the Federal Government is worried about doing the states job.
However progress is being made in respect to General Welfare for the American people. In the GOP's weekly address, Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown urged Senate passage of what he called a "jobs bill" that would repeal a 3 percent withholding mandate on payments to many contractors who do business with the federal government.
Brown called it "a stealth tax" that will hit small businesses and contractors starting in 2013.
"Now, all the mandate will do is, is take more money out of our economy at a time when quite frankly we can least afford it. And as a result, businesses will have less money to hire and pay new workers," Brown said.
The repeal passed the House last week with wide bipartisan support and Brown called on the Senate majority leader, Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada, to bring it to a vote.
