Walberg Responds to State of the Union Address
January 20, 2015
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tim Walberg released the following statement after the President's State of the Union Address:
"President Obama missed an opportunity tonight to rally the country around bipartisan solutions. Instead, the President gave a speech overlooking the American people's overwhelming rejection of his policies last November. The American people deserve better than more of the same flawed top-down policies. The challenges of our time require new solutions that empower hardworking Americans, not grow the size of Washington's bloated bureaucracies by raising taxes and creating more unfunded programs. In the first few weeks of the new Congress, the House advanced solutions to boost wages, lower energy costs, and grow a healthy economy from the bottom-up. I hope the President will instead join our efforts in a serious and practical way to increase opportunity for every American."
Congressman Walberg serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee as Chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee. In addition, he serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. For more information on Walberg's work in Congress visit walberg.house.gov.
