WASHINGTON – Tonight, Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) released the following statement in response to President Obama's State of the Union address.
"America can’t afford another year like 2009, but that’s what the President just promised us.
"After spending $9,900 per citizen on a 'stimulus' bill that didn't work, pushing a health care bill that no one wants and still managing to triple the deficit, President Obama should be changing course.
"Instead, he promised us a second stimulus bill, the same health care bill that the American people have already rejected and a cap-and-tax energy bill that would kill millions more jobs.
"The President's proposed discretionary spending freeze is a worthy concept, but the rhetoric doesn't match the reality. His speech laid out a number of policy goals, including various new spending programs, which make the 'spending freeze' nothing more than a marketing slogan.
"Tonight's speech was a missed opportunity. The President had a chance to show some humility, listen to the American people and change course. Instead of seizing that chance, he offered us the same misguided policies wrapped in new rhetoric."
