Noem Responds to President Obama’s State of the Union Address
South Dakota Deserves Action, Not More Politics, Says Noem
Washington, D.C. – Rep. Kristi Noem today issued the following statement in response to the President’s State of the Union Address this evening:
“South Dakotans deserve to hear about opportunities, but unfortunately, most of tonight’s speech was about politics. I believe we can produce real results that give South Dakotans the peace of mind that if they work hard and play by the rules they’ll be given opportunity and security. That means we can’t be increasing taxes on Middle Class families trying to save for college or adding billions of dollars to the deficit, which our kids will be responsible for.
“We should, however, enact new trade agreements that create more opportunities for South Dakota commodities and products to be sold overseas. We should eliminate some of the burdensome regulations that make it difficult to do business in America. We should cooperate on real solutions that strengthen cybersecurity, simplify the tax code, secure our nation, and accomplish much more. But to do that, we have to put politics aside. Only then can we create an opportunity economy with higher paying jobs and an accountable, efficient government.”
