President Obama traveled to Northern Virginia Monday to pressure Congress to approve $8 billion for community colleges on a day the White House rolled out its 2013 budget proposal that would do little to stanch government spending.
“The main idea in the budget is this: At a time when our economy is growing and adding jobs at a faster clip, we’ve got to do everything we can to keep it growing,” Obama said at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale. “It says if we’re serious about investing in our future … we’ve got to pay for it.”
