Miller Statement on President Obama's State of the Union Address

Press Release

"I had hoped to hear President Obama reach out to both sides of the aisle and embrace the opportunity to work with the new Majority in Congress to improve the economy, defend our shores, and make life better for all Americans. I had also hoped the President would have built on areas of agreement between the parties, for example the continued need to reform the VA, and demonstrate some leadership. Unfortunately, President Obama's laundry list of agenda items focused on the failed policies of the past.
President Obama said last year that his policies were on the ballot last November. If that was indeed the case Mr. President, your policies lost.
Americans have said they want a secure border, more jobs, better wages, and lower health care and education costs. In short, they want a government that works for them.
To truly right this economy, we need to cut government spending, we have to shrink the size of the federal government, and we have to stop the federal intrusion and overreach that hurts hardworking Americans. We need to move towards a balanced budget, and this government needs to stop mortgaging the future of our children and grandchildren."
