Continuing this irresponsible level of spending will further put this country on a collision course with disaster.\n\nLast week, the voters of Massachusetts sent a clear message to Washington \u2013 stop the big spending. The President heard the same message when he visited with job-creators in Ohio last week \u2013 big spending doesn't create jobs.\n\nI have supported the concept of a freeze, but the baseline number must be much lower. If the President is willing to freeze non-security spending at the levels from when he took office last year \u2013 before the stimulus, before the other big increases - then you will find Republicans ready to work with him.\n\nIf the administration is serious about fiscal responsibility, then let's get to work \u2013 but it's going to take more than budget gimmicks and bloated baselines to get our economy moving again.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T21:13:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://jordan.house.gov/media/press-releases/jordan-statement-president-obamas-state-union-address"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4623329043388367, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
