Tonight, the President covered a lot of ground. Giving a speech is one thing, but putting your political muscle behind creating jobs, improving our economy, and tackling our debt and deficit is another. Going forward, I hope the President—and Congress—will focus on areas of common ground whether it’s boosting our manufacturing sector, investing in our infrastructure, or ensuring our future global competitiveness. We need to reduce our deficit, and I look forward to seeing the President’s proposals on paper. If we set aside differences and work together, I believe Congress will have a productive year.
