Senator Pryor's take on Obama's speech

Our economy is paralyzed, and there is no quick cure. There are however, steps we can take to promote private sector hiring and put Americans back to work. Short-term initiatives, such as small business tax incentives or infrastructure investments could help stabilize the economy. Of equal or more importance is a long-term strategy for economic growth and prosperity. That means setting the stage for America to innovate, grow and compete globally. When additional details of the President’s plan are released next week, I will be looking to balance these goals with the need to get our fiscal house in order.

Growing our economy requires Congress to be on the same team, wearing the same jersey and working together. Democrats and Republicans must stop trying to score political points against one another. It is not a winning strategy for our nation’s future.
