Jordan Statement on President Obama's Address to Congress
"I always appreciate the President's eloquence, but I am still waiting to see the President act like the fiscal conservative he portrays himself as."
"If massive government spending was the answer to our economic problems, we'd have solved them long ago. Taxpayer-funded bailouts and expanded federal programs are the wrong way to go. We need to bring a sense of fiscal responsibility back to Congress, and I believe the first step is to freeze federal spending at current levels while we find ways to cut."
"Last session I offered more federal spending cuts than any member of Congress, and this week my office reached out to the Obama Administration, ready to go line-by-line through the federal budget with them to cut out the waste."
"This bipartisan problem was created by big-spending Democrats and big-spending Republicans. I am happy to work with all of my fiscally conservative colleagues to show that it can be solved in a bipartisan fashion as well."
