“Now is the time to focus on our debt and deficit”
By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog
Congressman Jon Runyan (R-NJ) didn’t like President Obama’s State of the Union address, Save Jerseyans.
He released this statement last night not long after POTUS and Marco Rubio wrapped up their respective remarks:
Tonight, President Barack Obama had a great opportunity to unify Americans around a plan to address the biggest fiscal challenges facing the United States of America. Unfortunately, the President continued to focus on increasing taxes and spending while ignoring the nation’s debt and deficit crisis. Let us not forget that just last month the House and Senate passed a compromise piece of legislation, which the President strongly advocated for publically, to avert the fiscal cliff by increasing revenue. Now is the time to focus on our debt and deficit and get the federal government’s spending problem under control, which is the only way to grow our struggling economy and get America back to work.”
