Here’s Congressman Don Manzullo’s take on Obama’s speech.
“Following weeks of unprecedented spending, it was good to hear President Obama talk tonight about the need for fiscal responsibility as we move our country forward. As our nation recovers, we must quickly end this government spending spree that is heaping massive amounts of debt on our future generations. Unfortunately, Congress plans to pay off our bills by increasing taxes on Americans instead of cutting wasteful spending. These tax hikes – which include the return of the job-killing death tax – will especially hurt our small business owners, who create 70 percent of all new jobs each year. Why in these dire economic times would we intentionally hurt the segment of our economy that has the best chance to put people back to work?
“Instead, the government should tighten its purse strings and cut spending as all Americans are doing in these difficult times. The people I represent are worried and hurting, and I appreciate President Obama’s urgency in trying to return us to prosperity. I will continue to reach out to the President and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to do what we can to improve the lives of all Americans.”
