Crawford: 'State of the Union' Fails to Address Debt Crisis

Statement

Date: Jan. 29, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Entitlements and the Safety Net Economy and Fiscal

Congressman Rick Crawford (AR-1) released the following statement following President Obama's 2014 State of the Union Address Tuesday.

"Tonight, Arkansans heard from the President about his priorities for our nation. Unfortunately, he continues to avoid addressing the biggest problem holding back economic growth--the ever-growing debt crisis.

"It is sad that President Obama continues to insist that it makes sense to rush ahead with trillions of dollars in new entitlement spending while Social Security and Medicare remain in fiscal distress, and the national debt is hurtling toward unsustainable levels increasing economic uncertainty."
