Graves Responds to President Biden’s State of the Union Address

WASHINGTON, DC – Following President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address, Congressman Sam Graves (MO-06) released the following statement.

“I don’t know what planet President Biden is living on, but here in the real world, Americans are suffering. Maybe he hasn’t had to get his own groceries or pay his home heating bill in a while, but the rest of us have taken a beating from inflation and rising prices.

“We didn’t get here by dumb luck, we got here because of dumb policies. The President has wasted trillions we don’t have on Green New Deal projects that won’t do a thing to fix the supply chain crisis—all the while driving the price of gas, groceries, and everything else through the roof. Meanwhile, Americans are dying because of the fentanyl crisis, but he refuses to secure the border. As long as the President continues offering weak excuses and pointing blame everywhere except for the one place it belongs, American families are going to continue to suffer.

“It’s time for the new Republican majority to stand up and tell the President “the buck stops here.” We have to stop these reckless policies and start doing what’s best for the American people.”
