Congressman Guest Releases Statement in Anticipation of the State of the Union Address
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Michael Guest (MS-03) released the following statement in anticipation of President Biden’s first State of the Union address. An audio recording of the Congressman’s statements can be found by clicking here.
“I believe the President, during the State of the Union, will give specific examples to convince the American public that his policies have been successful. But what he’ll fail to do is he’ll fail to give a broad overview, I believe, that would show the detrimental impact that his policies have had on everyday working Americans.
I believe the President must address some very important issues. One, is he must address the growing inflationary crisis that we’ve seen across the country. Because of unnecessary spending in Washington D.C. — specifically much of that related to the American Rescue Plan, which was opposed by every Republican lawmaker — we have seen inflation rise to a 40-year high.
I believe the President must address what we’ve seen as far as the flow of fentanyl into communities across the United States. Because the President has either been unwilling or unable to secure our border, we have seen record seizures of cocaine, methamphetamine, and now the most deadly and dangerous drug of all, fentanyl, enter the United States. So the President must talk about how he intends to secure the border and how he intends to stop the flow of these illegal drugs from coming into communities all across our country.
And I believe that finally the President must address the growing rise in violent crimes and attacks on law enforcement.
I believe at the conclusion of the State of the Union, again, all Americans must ask themselves, ‘are the examples given by the President — do those examples apply to me?’ And again, the most important question of all, ‘Am I better off now than I was this time last year’”
