Congresswoman Hanabusa's Response to the State of the Union

Press Release

"True to Trump, he claimed credit for everything good that is happening in America but listen carefully to what it is that he is selling. We do not have the money to pay for the things he proposed. Congress still does not understand how we are paying for the tax cuts the Republicans passed last fall that are projected to increase deficits by an estimated $1.46 trillion over the next decade. For example, we are allegedly set to launch a massive infrastructure improvement campaign? He wants states to invest at an 80/20 split with the federal government. People do not realize that, because like everything else with this administration, the message and the reality are rarely the same. Trump is always willing to employ divisive, discriminatory rhetoric and fake facts to justify his message. He can clap for himself all he wants but this speech was heavy on old Trump talking points but offered little in the way of innovative thinking about the real issues facing our nation. Americans deserve better," said Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa.
