Obama to Reach Out to Middle Class Families in State of the Union
-----------------------------------------------------------------



The New York Times reports President Obama will use his State of the
Union address on Wednesday to propose a package of initiatives intended
to help middle-class families. The proposals include tax credits for
childcare, caps on some student loan payments and a requirement that
companies let workers save automatically for retirement. Obama will also
call for expanded tax credits for retirement savings and money for
programs to help families care for elderly relatives.
