California Republican Party Vice Chairman Tom Del Beccaro today issued the following statement regarding President Obama's State of the Union address:"The President tried to rebrand himself as a fiscal conservative by appearing to adopt Republican solutions like tax simplification, earmark bans, and budget freezes. But mere talk is not enough. While it's true that we need real tax reform that will restore incentives to the American economy, raising taxes on those that invest in our economy will not restore those incentives. President Obama cannot promote a spending freeze while promising billions of dollars in more stimulus programs. He simply can't have it both ways.
"The President’s message was ‘We do big things.’ The first big thing we should do is to reduce the size of government, not the opportunities of the American people through over-spending, regulation and tax hikes."
