The president warned Congress has blocked higher gasoline taxes and postal rate increases, noting a 700 million federal pay rise adds pressure on a projected surplus. He said steel output near 50 percent capacity offers no recession proof and highlighted April through June activity at 503 billion dollars with one million more jobs in May.
