“The basic bargain at the heart of our economy has frayed,” he said in an address in Washington today that echoed a speech he gave two years ago in Osawatomie, Kansas, that set the stage for his 2012 re-election race. Increasing inequality “challenges the very essence of who we are as a people.”
After being bogged down for the past two months by the botched rollout of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the president offered arguments to press his stalled economic agenda and set a foundation for Democratic Party candidates in the 2014 congressional elections.
Illustrating the political agenda within the speech, Obama challenged Republicans in Congress to offer their own ideas for reducing inequality and providing opportunities for middle-income Americans. He said relying on free markets to solve the nation’s problems isn’t enough.
“You owe it to the American people to tell us what you are for, not just what you’re against,” he said.
