We welcome the President to the House chamber tonight, where he will address the American people to assess the State of the Union.

This presents another opportunity for the President to chart a new course. I hope the President takes this opportunity to stop offering empty rhetoric and broken promises, to stop pushing policies that have proven to make matters worse, and to stop dividing Americans for political gain.

The President and his party's leaders continue to duck from the most pressing fiscal and economic challenges facing our nation. Exhibit A of this failure is the fact that today marks 1,000 days without Senate Democrats passing a budget.

Having failed to put forward a credible budget plan in 1,000 days, the President's party is committing America to a future of debt, doubt and decline.

Instead of dealing honestly with our biggest fiscal challenges and providing certainty to job creators, Senate Democrats have refused to meet their legal and moral obligation to propose and pass a budget.

    “It is a constant battle against capitalist values,” said the president, who added that replacing the country’s dominant ideals with socialist ones ..."

  • Stop with the empty rhetoric President. You've had your time; you've had your moment. Time to stand aside.

  • "Proven to make matters worse?" Starting to sound a bit thin, don't you think?
