Lieberman’s response to SOTU

Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., just released this statement on the State of the Union, his final.

“Now that we have heard the President’s State of the Union message, Congress should not let this year pass without taking serious action on the greatest threat to our nation’s economic recovery – the ever-growing deficit. For at least a few months, we should put partisanship aside and lay the groundwork for a serious reduction in the nation’s deficit, which is our best hope to help our economy and create jobs. I would also hope that we can pass legislation that has broad bi-partisan support such as the cyber-security bill. Although this is an election year, the people’s business cannot be neglected and that is why I believe it is essential to make progress on some of the critical issues facing our country.”
