U.S. Senator Mitt Romney responding to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday, March 2, 2022
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) responded to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday night. While praising the president’s efforts dealing with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he said the president failed to see the whole picture.
“The President has successfully brought together our friends and allies to coordinate a unified and powerful response to Putin’s actions. That being said, I had hoped to hear the President address the investment needs of our military.”
Romney said even though Russia is the problem of today, we must not forget that China is operating in the background and remains the problem of tomorrow. The communist country is on a quest to become the world’s economic, military, and geopolitical superpower.
The senator agreed with President Biden that inflation is crippling hardworking families but added that new government spending is making inflation worse.
“We have got to get our spending under control—we cannot spend more than we take in. Reining in our national debt and deficit is one of the most important things we can do as a Congress—and it starts with looking at our entitlement spending and shoring up our federal trust funds to ensure programs like Social Security and Medicare exist for future generations.
Romney said a large part of the problem has been the COVID relief package Democrats passed a year ago, calling it totally unnecessary.
