WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) issued the following statement in response to this evening’s State of the Union address:
“After seven years of failed policies and promises, our country now faces a slowing economy, a misguided war and diminished status in the world. The time for a change is now.
We must stimulate our economy in a way that is fair to New Jersey and all Americans. We must start to address real problems like the rising cost of health care, lack of job growth and global warming. And the President must listen to the people and bring our troops home.
I urge the President to work closely with Congress in his final year in office to accomplish these goals and move America forward.”
