Hatch on President's Speech on the American Economy

Statement

U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, issued the following statement after President Obama delivered remarks today on the economy:

"Over the past six years hard-working, middle-class families have been squeezed by the President's failed economic policies. Bigger government, higher taxes, more spending, and rising debt have left Americans in the lurch, facing sluggish economic growth, smaller paychecks, and a weak job market. That's no cause for celebration. Rather than boasting about economic policies that have done little for those on Main Street, as the President did today, this Administration ought to work with Congress to advance pro-growth, job-creating initiatives like the Keystone XL pipeline and Trade Promotion Authority. Sadly, recycled half-decade-old campaign rhetoric is all this White House has been able to produce."
