Jindal: Obama presidency amounts to ‘liberalism run amok’

In a written response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, Gov. Bobby Jindal says the president “doubled down on failed policies from the past while outlining his shortsighted vision for the future.” Instead of committing his second term to growth and prosperity, Jindal says, “the president confirmed that we have gone from the greed of Wall Street to the greed of government. It’s about more, more, more. More government, more spending and more economic uncertainty.” Jindal says, “Government will never be big enough” for the president, nor will taxes and spending ever be high enough for him. “Every policy championed by the president this evening is dependent on more money for government and more government control,” Jindal says. “This president believes in pro-growth policies, but the problem is this—he believes in growing the government economy, not the private sector economy. We’ve had four years of growing government, and the results have been disastrous. It is liberalism run amok.”
