On Tuesday the President gave a State of the Union Address that was short on details but long on hypocrisy. His remarks were long, self-absorbed, and divorced from reality. Much like 1 year ago, his speech was noteworthy for the things he didn't say. He didn't mention that we live in a time of the greatest income inequality since the 1920s. He didn't mention the environment and our responsibilities to respond to climate change, to strengthen Social Security, or education for young people. These are the real challenges facing working people today. They are also the things that the President has ignored during his time in office. The people of this great country deserve better. Democrats are committed to delivering for the people. That means: Cracking down on corruption in Washington and reducing the influence of money in our political system; Raising wages by rebuilding our infrastructure; Lowering healthcare and prescription drug costs; Ending the epidemic of gun violence; and Taking on the challenge of climate change. Let's get the job done and restore government of, by, and for the people of this great country. ____________________
