"[N]o amount of presidential pivots and speechmaking will change the fact
that too many Illinoisans are out of work, Illinois' House Republicans
declared after President Obama spoke for more than an hour today in their
home state.
The Illinois House GOP Delegation issued a joint statement following Obama's
economic speech at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois:
"Today, President Obama made his 19th pivot back to what has always been
most important to Americans, jobs and the economy. With its 9.2%
unemployment rate, full-blown budget crisis and sky-high taxes, our shared
home state of Illinois is an example of government making all the wrong
economic choices.
"However, no amount of presidential pivots and speechmaking will change the
fact that too many Illinoisans are out of work. It doesn't have to be this
way.
"House Republicans have never strayed from our focus on creating jobs and
strengthening our economy. We are developing a tax reform package for
individuals and businesses that would increase American competiveness in the
global economy. We have passed a jobs and skills training package, approved
the Keystone XL Pipeline, acted to protect families and individuals from a
costly healthcare law and put forth a plan to permanently fix our student
loan crisis.
"These proposals would immediately and demonstrably boost the economy, and
set the foundation for long-term growth. We agree with the president, too
many Americans are struggling in today's economy, and we stand ready to work
toward real, bipartisan solutions, not listen to another stump speech."
The members of the House Republican delegation include: Congressmen Peter
Roskam (IL-6), Rodney Davis (IL-13), Randy Hultgren (IL-14), John Shimkus (
IL-15), Adam Kinzinger (IL-16), and Aaron Schock (IL-18). |
