7. Great proposals. I wish the President luck with this wonderful plan.

We can't allow the laziness, political jealousy and stubbornness of the Republicans in Congress to impede the progress of our country. Obama's plans are modest compared to what some other countries have done and are doing to develop their economies.

The President is directing the Vice President to conduct a full review of our federal job-training system to make sure programs are higher performing and driven by the needs of employers which are hiring so that they lead to well-paying jobs.
