“Tonight President Obama delivered a sobering and honest assessment of our nation’s economy. These are troubling times, but the President put forth a bold plan for rebuilding our economy and getting our country back on track.”
Sen. Mark Udall, D-Eldorado Springs
“Tonight, President Obama laid out a blueprint for America’s future – a blueprint that will help create jobs, ease the flow of credit, keep American families in their homes, and invest in areas like energy, health care and education that will grow our economy. But it is also a blueprint that acknowledges our responsibility to future generations by reigning in runaway spending and crushing public debt.”
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Denver
“His commitment to affordable health care for all Americans is firm and real; it is a promise that I am confident he will deliver. President Obama’s proposal for comprehensive reform this year not only includes a budget that ensures a system that is both efficient and cost-effective, but also guarantees health care for all.”
Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver
“We have plenty of blame, but too few solutions. President Obama understands this and has already made many tough choices necessary to produce real results. Reducing the budget deficit by half is a good first step. I am confident that under his leadership, we will meet these challenges head-on and restore stability to the American economy.”
Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder
“Tonight the President had the courage to tell the people the hard truth about the economy. While that may have been a tough pill to swallow, it is the strong medicine we need to heal this economy and it shows his respect for our ability to take it.”
Rep. John Salazar, D-Manassa
“Creating and saving jobs, cutting taxes, and investing in our infrastructure are only the first steps on the long road to recovery. We need to get serious about cutting our deficit and reducing our debt. It’s time to restore fiscal responsibility to our government.”
Rep. Betsy Markey, D-Fort Morgan
“I wish the President would have been more aggressive about stopping out-of-control deficit spending. Reducing deficit spending by half in four years is a little bit like having a chronic alcoholic cut their drinking in half. We need a balanced budget as soon as possible.”
Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora
“Creating and saving jobs, cutting taxes, and investing in our infrastructure are only the first steps on the long road to recovery. We need to get serious about cutting our deficit and reducing our debt. It’s time to restore fiscal responsibility to our government.”
