 Response to Bush's final State of the Union
With a slowing economy and an increasingly worrisome housing
crisis, Nevadans were looking for answers tonight, but President Bush
offered few solutions in his final State of the Union Address.
“Nevadans clearly want a change of leadership in the White House —
that’s why three out of four Nevadans who caucused on January 19th
caucused for a Democrat,” said Nevada Democratic Party Chair Jill
Derby. “Nevada has the worst foreclosure rate in the nation, we continue to
deploy troops to a war with no end in sight and the economy is
causing shortfalls at the local and state level that threaten our
education and health care. Unemployment and poverty has both increased
in Nevada since 2000, and job growth recently has stalled. Increased
energy costs hurt our homeowners and our businesses.
“Right now, the President and Congress are working together on a
bipartisan measure to give a shot in the arm to our economy," Derby
said. "We need more of that kind of bipartisan leadership. It’s a clear reason why Nevadans should
vote for a Democrat and a fresh start in November.”
