Grothman Releases Statement on President Trump’s State of the Union Address

Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-WI) released the following statement after President Trump’s State of the Union Address to Congress: “I was honored to attend President Trump’s sixth State of the Union address, where he laid out a clear vision for America’s future and highlighted the wins his administration has achieved in just one year of his second term on reducing crime, strengthening immigration enforcement and drug interdiction, peace negotiations around the world, and affordability. “President Trump also promised lower costs for prescription drugs and highlighted the success of reducing the taxpayer handouts to insurance companies, who are the primary beneficiary of Obamacare. “Families across the country are seeing the results of policies that lower costs, create jobs, and restore accountability in Washington. Working families are keeping more of their hard-earned money, with Wisconsin families receiving average tax cuts of $3,177, a permanent $2,200 Child Tax Credit, and historically high refunds this year. Couple that with inflation dropping from 9% to 2.4% and mortgage rates falling to a three-year low, and we can objectively say that affordability is here and the American dream is alive and well. “Our economy is growing, with 172,000 new private-sector jobs added in January alone, expanded incentives for American-made manufacturing, and strengthened support for small businesses that are the backbone of our communities. “At the same time, our nation is safer and stronger. Border enforcement has been restored, catch-and-release ended, and federal overreach, including harmful DEI mandates and threats to women’s sports and parental rights, being rolled back. Taxpayer dollars are being focused on Americans who need them most, while wasteful spending on radical programs and international schemes has been cut. “Also highlighted were some of America’s greatest heroes, from World War II veterans to the gold-medal-winning U.S. men and women’s hockey teams, as well as people who have suffered at the hands of illegal migrants. “As the President highlighted, the welfare system in our country has become so out-of-control that fraud is rampant, criminals are not being held accountable, and Americans are being trapped in a cycle of dependency. That is why I was glad to see Vice President Vance put in charge of a new task force to tackle welfare and clean up the fraud in our bloated system. “Two more statistics that I hope the mainstream media will report are the 67% reduction in murders in the District of Columbia and the decrease of 2.4 million people on food stamps. “Tonight’s speech reinforced the results we are seeing and the direction this administration is taking. I look forward to continuing to work toward President Trump’s welfare agenda, cutting spending, using taxpayer dollars wisely, and delivering for Wisconsin families, and all Americans, in the months and years ahead.” -30- U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Glenbeulah) proudly serves the people of Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
