Obama vows veto on GOP plans and calls for tax reform
President vows to veto Republican efforts to dismantle his health care and financial reforms. He urges shared action on foreign policy and cybersecurity while backing fast-tracked trade deals. Obama proposes capital gains tax hikes, estate taxes, a fee on large banks, and $320 billion in new taxes for middle class aid, including free community college and expanded child care credits. Boehner and Ernst criticize the proposals as priorities misaligned with economic growth.

Obama presses final years push in State of the Union
President Obama moves to reshape the lame duck period with veto threats and policy proposals unlikely to win GOP support. He promotes tax hikes for the wealthy, free community college, expanded paid leave, and other aims while promising to veto bills rolling back health care or Wall Street reforms. The Republican reply from Sen. Joni Ernst counters with calls for less gridlock, but both sides push competing narratives as Washington remains divided.Online extended version at aikenstandard.com.
