The Senate defeated President Barack Obama’s job-creation package on Tuesday in a sign that Washington is likely too paralyzed to take major steps to spur hiring before the 2012 elections. The $447 billion package of tax cuts and new spending failed by a vote of 50 to 48, short of the 60 votes it needed to advance in the 100-member Senate. Voting was expected to continue for several hours but would not affect the outcome. Obama, campaigning in Florida, said the vote was not the end of the fight for the measure. In a statement after the vote, Obama accused Republicans of obstruction and said he would work with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to make sure that individual proposals in the bill would get a vote as soon as possible. Though Obama’s top legislative priority is now dead in Congress, it is certain to have a long afterlife on the campaign trail. Obama’s 2012 re-election chances depend on his ability to spur the sluggish economic recovery and revive the nearly stagnant job market. The U.S. unemployment rate has been above 9 percent since May and almost 45 percent of the 14 million jobless Americans have been out of work for six months or more. Even Wall Street is feeling the pinch, with a report from the New York State Comptroller showing that banker bonuses are likely to drop for the second year in a row.

Američki Senat odbacio je u utorak paket mjera predsjednika Baracka Obame za poticanje zapošljavanja i oživljavanje gospodarstva vrijedan 447 milijardi dolara. Taj prijedlog zakona, koji predviđa porezne olakšice u svrhu stvaranja novih radnih mjesta, pao je u Senatu s 50 glasova protiv. Obama je izjavio da to glasovanje nije kraj borbe za taj zakon. U svojoj izjavi nakon glasovanja Obama je optužio republikance za ometanje i rekao da će raditi s vođom demokratske većine u američkom Senatu Harryjem Reidom kako bi osigurao da se o pojedinim prijedlozima u tom paketu glasuje što je prije moguće. "Ako ne usvoje cijeli paket, idemo s njegovim dijelovima", rekao je Obama prije glasovanja u Senatu dodajući da bi plan za zapošljavanje trebao biti osiguranje protiv recesije. Američki predsjednik je najavio da će 19. rujna predstaviti i plan smanjenja proračunskog deficita. "Plan smanjenja proračunskog deficita pokrit će troškove predloženog zakona o zapošljavanju, a ujedno će i na duže vrijeme stabilizirati naš dug", kazao je Obama. Obamin plan zapošljavanja dolazi u trenutku kada je stopa nezaposlenosti 9,1 posto, a prisutan je i strah od mogućeg povratka recesije. - Sviđa vam se članak?
