Scalise: President Obama retreads the same failed agenda of the last four years
Texas Insider Report: Washington D.C. Its fitting that President Obama gave his State of the Union on Mardi Gras Day since hes spent the last four years throwing record levels of taxpayer money at failed federal programs like cheap beads at a parade" said Chairman Steve Scalise of the House Republican Study Committee following President Obamas State of the Union Address. If higher taxes and more government spending were the solution to our economic woes our economy would be humming on all cylinders. But all the middle class has to show for the last four years is a hangover of record debt and a weak economy that hasnt produce jobs for hard-working families. Unemployment hovered above or around 8 throughout President Obamas entire first term.- The presidents attempts at job creation and middle class revitalization have proven hollow and damaging.
- The Keystone XL pipeline sits unapproved and with it more than 20000 American jobs remain sidelined.
- Billions of dollars in new middle-class taxes are now starting to hit American families. And
- Small businesses and the full weight of Obamacare with its mountains of radical regulations are already leading to higher health care costs and more lost jobs" said Scalise.
