In a speech to be delivered at a university here Wednesday, Mr. Obama into force will come off the coast of the line of key in the debate on the reduction of the debt of the country, which is reached dangerous peaks such as the ageing of the population.
After months of criticism that he has not taken on the budget talks, Mr. Obama urge bipartisan negotiations for a multi-year plan for debt reduction that said officials of the administration clearly derogate the one last week proposed by Republicans.
The Republican plan House includes a shrinkage of Medicare, Medicaid and trillions of tax dollars reduction, while sparing defense spending. Mr. Obama, on the other hand, plans a more comprehensive plan that includes tax increases for the wealthiest taxpayers, reductions in military spending, Medicare and Medicaid savings and unspecified social security changes.
In his remarks, coming after bipartisan agreement cutting Friday by approximately $ 38 billion for the rest of this year of internal estimates, Mr. Obama will provide more details, but will set the objectives of deficit-cuttingWhite House officials said. Numbers, too, are still in discussion.
"It will lay its approach this week of the magnitude of the reduction of the debt he thinks that the country is in need for us can grow economically and win the future - a balanced approach,"David Plouffe, the strategist senior White House Policy".told "Fox News Sunday"one of the four talk shows on which he appeared Sunday.""
"Obviously, we must look at all the corners of the Government,", said Mr. Plouffe, adding, "we have a great debate".
So far, Mr. Obama has avoided to prescribe specific changes in programs such as Medicare law, beyond those contained in its review of health care. Indeed, few recommendations of his own bipartisan fiscal commission were included in the budget he presented to Congress in February.
What is more, while Mr. Obama proposed a freeze for five years on the growth of domestic spending, he recommended increases in training programs, research, infrastructure and clean energy - noting that, although the reduction of the deficit is importantso are investments to create jobs and skilled workers.
The debate on federal spending and taxes is doomed to the waving of the White House and the Congress of the 2012 presidential campaign, aid in the assessment of the electors of the form of the record of Mr. Obama and challenged his rivals for the Republican answer presidential inauguration, even though they Court conservative voters who are opposed to any compromise with Mr. Obama.
If something tangible comes from the debate, it will be contrast visions of the parties of the role of the Government like no other.
Republicans have reacted with scepticism to Word of the speech of Mr. Obama. "I'm sitting here and I listen to David Plouffe talk, you know, their commitment to reduce their expenses and knowing very well that for the past two months, we had to put this President kicking and shouting to the table to reduce spending"Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia".leader of the majority of the House, said on Fox.
The timing of the speech of Mr. Obama reflects a strategy of the White House has designed the end of last year after that Republicans have won their House majority, with the confluence of the four tests, two last week, and two to come.
11 Hours on the reductions agreement Friday night, which has avoided a closure of the Government, deleted spending what had been a distraction for months on the unfinished budget this year. Representatives of the administration said that they also hope the compromise, focused on six months of public spending, helped to build confidence with the speaker of the House, John a. Boehner, larger debates about long-term spending and the national debt.
Although some lawmakers said Sunday that they opposed the compromise, leaders in both parties remain confident that it will pass in the House and the Senate later this week.
Also, last week was the moment has been waiting for the administration for months: representative Paul d. Ryan of Wisconsin, the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, describes the long term of the House Republican budget plan.
They would reduce the $ 6 billion - in the next decade turn Medicare into a program of vouchers for future generations and significantly reducing spending for Medicaid program based on need and other lines of the budget domestic - although largely sparing the Pentagon and cut of $ 4 trillion more in taxes in business and high income.
The White House settled on a strategy in December by which Mr. Obama expect for House Republicans to file their cards before it proposes major cuts in benefit programs of popular law, according to interviews with representatives of the administration at the time.
Mr. Obama budget of waiting game, however, has contributed to widespread criticism of fuel by some Democrats that he has failed to carry out, experts and the Republicans.
