Doug_Collins Headshot1(WASHINGTON, D.C.) –Ninth District  Congressman Doug Collins  released  a video rebuttal  after attending President Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday  night.  In that rebuttal congressman Collins said, “The lame-duck president, in his speech to a joint session of Congress, proposed higher taxes to pay for more federal programs, as a solution for the country’s still-struggling economy.”  

Collins also said,  “President Obama has said that he wants to reduce burdensome regulations, while his agencies produce a record number. He has said that he wants to reduce the national debt, which has nearly doubled in his six years of leadership,” adding “He has denied that he has the Constitutional power to rule by decree — and then done exactly that.”

The congressman concluded by saying, I have great hope that a new Republican majority in the House and Senate will pass more conservative legislation promoting freedom and prosperity, after years of Harry Reid’s obstruction, and look forward to our productive years ahead.”
