Republicans dismiss Obama's jobs plan

[The Backlash Cometh]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top Republicans in Congress on Tuesday criticized President Barack Obama's proposal to pay for a job creation plan by eliminating $467 billion in tax breaks for wealthier Americans and corporations.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell blasted Obama's plan to pay for the jobs plan through "permanent" tax increases.

"What the president's proposed so far is not serious. And it's not a jobs plan," McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor.

Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, made similar comments to reporters. He complained that Obama is seeking "permanent tax increases ... to pay for temporary spending."
