Obama says growth requires more than tax cuts

WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that if Republicans want to reject his economic plans, he wants to hear their suggestions on fueling the economy.

“I don’t think that tax cuts alone are going to be a recipe for the kind of expansion that we need,” he said at a White House news conference.

Obama also acknowledged he had not managed the balance well between having the rules of the road for business while making clear to U.S. companies that he wants them to succeed.

“One of the things that has not been managed by me as well as it needed to be was finding the right balance in making sure that businesses have rules of the road and are treating customers fairly … but also making absolutely clear that the only way America succeeds is if businesses are succeeding,” he said.
