Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) released the following statement tonight regarding President Obama's State of the Union Address:

"The President tonight outlined a laundry list of popular programs without regard to what they cost and his own record in office.

"He has failed to deliver on economic growth promises, has squandered $800 billion in stimulus funds, vetoed jobs and affordable domestic energy bills passed by Congress. What is clear is that he is pursuing a partisan class-warfare agenda aimed at dividing the American people.

"The American people deserve an efficient, effective government that works for them. I am ready to work with the President to cut the regulations and red tape that make it harder for workers and businesses to succeed; to confront the irresponsible overspending by this President and preceding Administrations, and to keep America competitive in a global economy."
