WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Wednesday President Barack Obama will announce new ideas to revive the economy and deficit reduction, but the details available so far seems to be a compilation of proposals of age.
Obama faces serious doubts among Americans about his economic leadership and is now trying to convince skeptical voters and Wall Street that it has a workable plan to keep the U.S. to dip into recession.
The White House said Obama will speak after the September 5 Labour Day describing the measures to stimulate employment and to find budget savings of over $ 1.5 billion deficit the new Congress of the commission.
According to senior administration officials, Obama's renewed call on Congress to extend tax cuts on wages - was the White House says would encourage companies to improve their recruitment, but which economists say is unlikely in the difference ' economy, which is in difficulties.
Officials said Obama plan also includes new ideas to accelerate the growth of employment in the short term. Nationwide stuck above 9 percent, a significant barrier to the chances of Obama re-election next year.
The official also said the growth package contains a mix of tax cuts and infrastructure spending and a measure directed towards the unemployed. It would probably be a training and education.
Obama, who has been criticized in recent weeks, political opponents, allies on the left, and Wall Street's repackaging of old ideas, job growth, are under pressure to say something new.
The White House said no final decision has been taken which would include Obama in his speech of September.
"The drop in the mail"
"We do not really need another speech - just a plan on paper," said Brendan Buck, spokesman for the House of Representatives Chairman John Boehner on Twitter. "Seriously, just drop in the mail. Podium is not necessary. "
Boehner, the top Republican in Congress.
White House Communications Director Dan said the package should include Twitter September Pffeifer "significant new initiatives to grow the economy and create jobs," and will also contribute to the action of Congress. He gave no details.
Obama also proposes a long-term deficit reduction package is based on a plot of 4,000 billion, has tried to mediate with Boehner to fight an unprecedented default U.S. bills, administration officials said.
The agreement would have introduced about 3000 billion in cuts - including cuts in social programs such as Medicare, the health insurance program for the elderly - and a trillion dollars in revenue increases, mainly due to the reform tax.
Those talks failed in July, leading Republicans and Democrats, a smaller contract, which raised the U.S. debt ceiling limit, but failed to stop the rating agency S & P rating of his naked America more credit AAA.
The agreement has created a powerful panel of 12 members of Congress was given the task of finding $ 1.5 trillion, or save more to address the deficit. If you disagree, at least 1,200 billion in savings, automatic spending cuts that hit a variety of government programs should be activated.
Boehner, Eric Cantor and his deputy reported that they could be opened to some of the ideas Obama's job growth in an editorial in the newspaper USA Today.
"We need pro-growth policies that will help create a middle class jobs, help existing businesses and provide more successful start-ups to flourish", the top two House Republicans wrote.
"This means tax relief for small businesses and eliminate costly, unnecessary regulations that impede private sector investment and job creation."
But with Republicans eager to make Obama a President of a semester, the party would be reluctant to accept measures that make the most eligible Democratic president.
OBAMA crushed
The battle of the debt ceiling Obama politically weakened, and became his country's low-rise style bus tour today through the American middle class, where he tried to convince Americans that the Republicans are at fault and has ideas for creating jobs.
But it has little positive news at work. When to avoid default, the S & P lowered the rating of the United States, the government has revised down the numbers show a very fragile economic recovery in the world, and the stock market tanked.
A Gallup poll completed on Saturday showed Obama with 39 percent approval rating - the lowest of his presidency.
Democratic President is perceived to have few tools left to support the U.S. economy and combating unemployment. His hands are tied by a divided Congress, where Republicans control the House and oppose any major spending measure to stimulate growth.
Obama said Monday he would make a plan for economic growth to address the deficit of jobs and, when Congress returns from summer vacation. But at the time, he did not reveal any details about what the package might contain.
Last Wednesday, the president was the packaging of a three-day bus tour through Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, where he reiterated the well-tread of proposals to improve recruitment, such as invoices free trade, tax cuts on wages and highway repairs.
