STATE OF THE UNION LACKED TANGIBLE PLANS
(Mrs. BICE OF Oklahoma asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, I rise today in response to President Biden's State of the Union address.
While I appreciated that Biden emphasized the importance of continuing to support Ukraine, overall, his speech was a lot of talk without tangible plans to solve the numerous issues that are devastating the Nation.
The President's speech didn't address the root causes of inflation, a crisis that is crushing many American families.
I found it ironic that Biden talked about securing the border when, throughout his entire time in office, he has actively ignored the unprecedented number of illegal crossings, which are due to his open border policies currently in place.
Finally, I am incredibly disappointed that he made no plan to restore American energy independence. We can produce affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy right here at home in States like my home State of Oklahoma.
Frankly, his address focused a lot on rehashing and disguising Build Back Better while lacking concrete solutions to the pressing issues negatively impacting the lives of American people.
