Foster Statement on Joint Address

March 5, 2025 Press Release Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement: “Unsurprisingly, much of what we heard in the Joint Address last night were lies from the most disgraceful president our country has ever seen. The disinformation and inflammatory rhetoric are an attempt to distract Americans from the fact that Trump’s policies are driving up the cost of living while slashing federal programs that people rely on. Despite his attempts to spin the narrative, Trump inherited one of the strongest economies in the world. Now, American consumers and businesses will bear the brunt of his tariffs and disastrous economic policies. “In just over six weeks in office, Trump's actions have left a stain on our nation's honor that will take generations to remove." ### Issues : Economic Security and Financial Services
