`We saw in last night’s State of the Union address that the President is incapable of breaking his addiction to Washington spending that has resulted in a massive and unsustainable $16 trillion debt. We cannot continue to tax and spend and send the bill to our children. The American people have paid enough of a price over the last few years for Washington’s recklessness, and passing a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution would put our citizens back at the helm of our ship of state.’
‘The stakes for American families are too high to keep taking the easy way out with more taxes and more wasteful spending. Republicans believe that taking on this massive burden of debt should be more important in this town than winning the next election. That’s why we need common-sense reforms like a Balanced Budget Amendment. All Republicans support it, and Democrats should too. But we won’t get anywhere as a nation if the President refuses to lead.’
‘Kentuckians aren’t interested in false promises; they want to hear what we’re planning to do to streamline government and bring it up to date. They want to hear what it’s going to take to lower the cost of living, and the cost of education and health care. They want to hear what it’s going to take to create good jobs. The President didn’t do any of those things tonight.’
