Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) issued the following statement tonight after President Obama’s State of the Union address.
“President Obama used the language of fiscal responsibility, but what he’s proposing is another stimulus and state bailout. That’s the wrong approach. If his free-spending policies of the past two years worked, then we wouldn’t still be looking at almost 10% unemployment.
“It’s our deficits and debt that are hurting our competitiveness and job creators. We need real spending cuts today in order to spur job growth, not another Presidential pledge to ‘freeze’ some spending.”
