Washington, DC – U.S. Representative Brian Babin (TX-36) issued the following statement this evening in response to President Obama’s State of the Union Address:

“President Obama’s speech tonight amounted to nothing more than a rehash of old, worn out big-government rhetoric with little basis in truth or fact. His proposed agenda of higher taxes, more spending, and new regulations was exactly what Americans soundly rejected two months ago. By doubling down on these same failed policies, President Obama has completely lost touch and credibility with the American people.

“It’s time the President realizes that government is not the answer – it’s the problem. We need real solutions focused on the priorities of hardworking Americans. We need to remove government barriers and let taxpayers keep more of their hard-earned money. The American people deserve an efficient, effective and accountable government and that’s what I’m fighting for.”
