Chris Healy, GOP state chief and the anti-Malloy, opines on the State of the Union delivery

 

Here’s Healy’s react to last night’s doings in DC:

“President Obama and the Democrats continue to perpetuate the illusion that you can spend your way to prosperity. “

“After offering well chosen words for the need to tackle a $13 trillion deficit that he and the Democrats in Congress created, the President pivoted to ask for more spending dressed up in the word “investment.”

“The bottom line is the federal government is drowning our economic in red ink and leading to broken dreams and continued long-term unemployment.  The President should meet with Republicans and Democrats and work out a meaningful plan to reduce government operating costs and spare no department.”

“The President talks a good game about entitlement reform but until Democrats are ready to sit down and talk about reforming Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security rather than reverting to their “scare the poor and the elderly” playbook, the long-term debt of this country will never be erased.”

“Republicans were elected this past fall in record numbers because voters from all corners have had enough with the growing role of government in our lives. The President has the opportunity to truly be an historic leader by doing what the voters want – cut spending, reform entitlements and get people back to work.”
