More political maneuvering. (One goal at least is to break Mitch McConnell's reelection bid. If he votes for it--conservatives will walk,
if he votes against it, he is another mean old republican that wants people to
suffer. ~ Lynn)
President Barack Obama at a White House event Thursday
identified five new “Promise Zones” that he said would benefit from a
program of tax incentives and government grants, a year after he unveiled the
plan in his 2013 State of the Union address.
“We’ve got to keep
our economy growing,” the president said. “We've got to make sure everybody is
sharing in that growth. We’ve got to keep creating jobs. Then we’ve got to make
sure wages and benefits are such that families can rebuild a little security.”
The proposal unique in that they’re an example of
administrative action Obama can take without Congress.
“We’ve got to make sure this recovery, which is real, leaves
nobody behind,” the president said. “That’s going to be my focus throughout the
year. This is going to be a year of action. That’s what the American people
expect. They are ready and willing to pitch in and help.”
The “Promise Zones” announced Thursday will be located in San Antonio , Philadelphia , Los Angeles , southeastern Kentucky and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
