Stivers Statement on the State of the Union

Statement

The following statement can be attributed to Congressman Steve Stivers (R-OH):

"I was disappointed that the President focused on what divides us in tonight's State of the Union Speech; however, there were three areas of broad bi-partisan support including: cyber security, infrastructure funding and jobs created by passing export trade promotion authority.

"The irony of this speech was that many of the obstacles American families have had to overcome have been created by government policies. Some of the proposals the President suggested would hurt the very people they propose to help. Other proposals sound great until you have to pay for them. We have already borrowed $18 trillion dollars from our children and future generations."
