America is facing an epidemic that is plaguing the nation right now and it seems to be seeping into Pennsylvania politics at the moment.

Everybody wants to sit back, be quiet, and not speak up because they are afraid they are going to offend someone.

It is a mindset that is crippling our culture and creating a nation of cowards.

Well guess what….I have a voice and I am not afraid to use it.

Governor Wolf and his allies are “offended” over a figure of speech I used at the Republican State Committee Winter Meeting this past weekend when I gave an update on the status of the Pennsylvania state budget.

We need a leader in Pennsylvania who has a backbone – not one who is so sensitive.

Do you want to know what I find “offensive”?

I think it is “offensive” that Governor Wolf continues to use his campaign slogan “jobs that pay, schools that teach, and government that works” even though he vetoed the balanced and responsible budget House and Senate Republicans sent to him ON TIME on June 30th.

Governor Wolf has held schools hostage, his style of governing is not working, and Pennsylvania’s job growth is 38th in the nation, which is worse than all neighboring states except dead-last West Virginia.

I think it is “offensive” that Governor Wolf blue-lined a budget sent to him on December 29th because he wanted to “keep the pressure on” forcing schools and charities to borrow money, cut services and workers, and in some cases even close because he didn’t get his massive tax increases.

I think it is “offensive” that Governor Wolf has stood with his special interest allies to veto pension reform that would save the taxpayers billions.

I think it is “offensive” that Governor Wolf stood with the public sector union bosses and vetoed a common sense plan to get the state out of the liquor business.

I think it is “offensive” that Governor Wolf continues to try to balance the budget on the backs of working Pennsylvanians who make up the middle class in order to reward the public sector unions and special interests that funded his campaign.

Taxpayers are “offended” by Tom Wolf, Barack Obama, and other liberal politicians who reflexively think the answer to every problem is higher taxes.

Governor Wolf has decided to use his voice to fight for the public sector unions and special interests that funded his campaign.

I’ll always use my voice to stand up for Pennsylvania’s families.

I guess that’s another difference between the two of us.

Sen. Wagner represents the 28th District in the Pennsylvania Senate.
