Congressman Darin LaHood (IL-18) released the following
statement after President Joe Biden addressed a Joint Session of
Congress:
"At President Biden’s inaugural address, I was encouraged by his
words of bipartisanship. The President pledged to be a president
for all Americans, but those words have fallen flat in his first
100 days.
"The President's rhetoric and mixed messaging have led to the
unmitigated crisis at the southern border. He has threatened our
economic rebound following the pandemic with unnecessary tax
hike proposals that will drive businesses overseas and kill
jobs. And he has abandoned the idea of unity to cater to the
most liberal wing of the Democrat party.
"Once again, tonight we heard a speech of lofty goals and calls
for unity from President Biden. I agree with President Biden
that we need to invest in infrastructure and support working
families following the coronavirus pandemic. Republicans are
eager to work with Democrats and the Biden Administration to
help families, but we know that throwing trillions of dollars at
government programs rife with mandates from Washington and
raising taxes on job-creators won't grow our economy or create
good-paying jobs.
"President Biden has time to make a course correction on his
term of partisanship. I hope he is serious about compromising
with Republicans to move our country forward."
