Statement of Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren on the State of the Union

Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) tonight issued the following statement in reaction to the President’s State of the Union address:

“I hoped for more from the President tonight in his State of the Union address. Unfortunately for the thousands of unemployed workers in Silicon Valley, the President suggested we continue and even accelerate his tax policies that have not done anything to create jobs and grow the economy but have brought us back to massive budget deficits.

“To burden future generations with billions of dollars in new debt when CEOs and economists tell me it will not create or spur economic growth is not a worthwhile trade-off.”
