RPNM statement on President Biden's national address before Congress.
Albuquerque, April 28—The following is a statement from Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce on President Biden’s national address this evening to a joint session of Congress:
“The President’s speech tonight was an attempt to dupe Americans about what’s really happening in our great nation. Biden says ‘America is on the move,’ but his first 100 days in office have been a setback for America—a real failure. What you heard this evening was pure leftist agenda spin at its best. The President talks about great accomplishments and future plans, but his wild liberal tax and spend policies are killing our country. Biden’s infrastructure plan is nothing but a massive $2 trillion tax hike that will destroy jobs and families. He fails to follow science to reopen schools but wants to invest nearly $2 trillion in his education and child care plan. That will mean a massive tax hike for Americans. He knows that all of us will eventually have to pay the piper. The President’s early executive orders are already killing livelihoods, industries, and our national economy. Biden has also been a failure at the border where unaccompanied minors are suffering at the cartel’s profits. Biden is only paying attention to far-left progressives and is not uniting our nation as he had promised. What he is doing is mortgaging our future.”
What is the NM GOP planning? I know Mr. Pearce doesn’t like Biden, and I am not a fan either, but what does he offer instead of (for example) the infrastructure plan that absolutely WILL provide many jobs for New Mexicans? What is the NM GOP plan for schools if he does not like the feds pushing for re-opening, which incidentally IS consistent with current science. I am not interested in slogans, but in actual ideas that will take the state forward, and that are based on facts. What plans does NM GOP have for replacing our dependence on extraction industries now that it is clear that the auto industry is leaning more toward other fuel sources? What are you proposing re: seasonal labor for our farms and ranches now that work visas have been severely limited by the previous administration? If you don’t like Biden’s broadening of the meaning of infrastructure to include technology, that’s fine. But what is YOUR plan for getting broadband available to all schools and small businesses? What is your plan for making daycare affordable so that my friends in retail and hospitality can afford to go back to work? All I am seeing here is unsupported propaganda-like statements. Where are the policy proposals?
