"We are risen from the recession” and now is the time to “bet on middle class”, increasing taxes on the rich and to large financial institutions, but also making money public universities are free and improving education of the children and thechildcare. These are some of the fundamental objectives indicated today by the President of the United States, Barack Obama, during his sixth State of the Union address, before the full Congress, the penultimate of his history in the White House.
“Tonight we move on,” Obama said, but to “start a new chapter” he will need the numbers of a Republican-majority Congress. For this reason, the President asks that we "work together, immediately", to help Americans "to have childcare, college, health care and pensions: the budget will give an answer to each of these problems, lowering taxes for families of workers and carrying thousands of dollars in their wallets every year”.
The American President also spoke of new rules for Wall Street, of interventions on the judicial system and a reform of policies onimmigration, the focal point of his last two years of presidency, which in all likelihood will meet with the strenuous opposition of the Republicans.
The President's opponents should instead be much more inclined to satisfy another ambition: "I ask Congress to approve a resolution authorizing the use of force against Isis Obama said. In Iraq and Syria, the US leadership and military might are halting the advance of Isis. Instead of being drawn into a new war on the ground, we are leading a broad coalition, including Arab nations, with the aim of weakening and then destroying the terrorist group. We are also supporting the moderate opposition in Syria and helping anyone around the world who rebels against the failed ideology of extremist violence. This effort will take time and focus, but it will be successful.”
