The Middle Class Task Force, set up by the Obama administration in 2009 and led by Vice President Joe Biden, to focus on issues that affect struggling middle- and working class families, has virtually gone silent.
According to thedaily.com:
In its first years, Vice President Joe Biden, who leads the initiative, toured the country promoting the administration’s economic policies as the group pumped out a flurry of reports on the state of the middle class, pushed for clean energy manufacturing tax credits and Pell grants, and helped make the case for the president’s health care overhaul.
More than three years after its launch, however, the task force seems to have lost its steam.
The task force’s website has become a virtual graveyard for aging updates about the middle class like “Why Middle Class Americans Need Health Reform,” published in 2009. The last annual report available on its site dates to 2010.
Well, if you had been paying attention there have been tax credits for manufacturing and clean energy, they took the student loans away from the banks or tried too, Got bipartisan healthcare reform passed by both houses and the supreme court. The website is a very small window when you can watch all the accomplishments on a number of news channels daily. Pres. Obama is currently trying to get congress to give 97% of small businesses here in the US a tax cut. But the Republican Congress wants the Country to fail because they do not like the black man in the white house that the people elected. Oh yes he stopped the bleeding of 750,000 jobs losses in 2009 that was occurring monthly in 2008 under Bush and killed Osama Bin Laden. Try http://www.whitehouse.gov
