Statement on the State of the Union Address
Washington,
February 7, 2023
Congressman Posey (R-Rockledge) released the following statement in response to tonight's State of the Union Address:
“Tonight Americans deserved to hear the President’s plan to strengthen the union: securing the border, standing up to our adversaries and countering China, tackling our crippling debt, reducing prices and rebuilding our energy independence. Instead, and to no one’s surprise, they heard just more of the same far-left talking points and 'swamp speak' designed to pander to the DC elite. There seems to be a disconnect from reality—people can’t afford the out-of-touch Biden agenda and his Administration refuses to tackle the issues most Americans care about. Just months ago, polls showed nearly 3 of 4 Americans believed we were heading in the wrong direction. A recent ABC-Washington Post Poll found 1 in 2 people say things have gotten worse for them under President Biden and 62 percent would be disappointed if he were re-elected. Americans can see what’s going on around them. It’s time for the President to abandon the radical policies that are harming Americans and work with the new Republican House Majority to put America first,” |
