Send us a Plan

So the President is going to take a vacation, and when he gets back he will make a speech about his (new) plan to create jobs in this country. Make a speech, mind you, not actually submit a plan. What I would like to say to the President is this:

Mr. President, now after two and one half years in office, and after having been elected to fix the economy, and having made speech after speech about the economy and blaming everybody else for where we are, stop making speeches! Your dog did not eat the economy.

Just send us a plan for jobs and the debt. Send us a plan that can be scored by the Congressional Budget Office. Send us a plan that can be written into legislation. Send us a plan that can be compared with Paul Ryan’s plan. Send us a plan that you can sit down and negotiate with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.

And by the way, you say you want Congress to pass the free trade agreements. Well, the Republicans want to pass them, but you haven’t submitted them yet. Send down the treaties, Mr. President.

Send us a plan, Mr. President.
