Obama is trying but he is just one man

Obama looks to limit corporate tax avoidance in budget
  • President Obama reportedly intends to propose changes that would limit the ability of multinational companies to avoid paying tax by exploiting the differences between countries' tax rates and regulations.
  • The changes are expected be part of the president's 2015 budget, which he is due to unveil in March.
  • The White House is also set to drop a proposal to restrict pension spending by changing how inflation is accounted for. The measure had been designed to entice Republicans.
  • In addition, the White House wants to significantly increase spending on education, manufacturing and job training.
  • However, as with many of the Administration's proposals, they could well die in the House amid strong GOP opposition.
