Obama To Urge Spending In School Speech

President Obama will chide Congress for its austerity measures and remind them that spending circulates money in the economy and is necessary for economic growth.

Lawmakers are girding for a conference starting Wednesday aimed at reconciling vastly different spending plans put forward by the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-led House of Representatives.

Obama will use a speech at the Pathways in Technology Early College High School in Brooklyn, New York, whose technology curriculum he has praised as a beacon for the future, to contrast his budget priorities with Republicans.

“The president believes that the upcoming budget conference is an opportunity for Washington to focus on building a strong, secure middle class,” a White House official said. “The president will continue to insist that Congress invest in our economy and create good jobs with good wages because we can’t just cut our way to prosperity.”
