Eric Crawford said "Mr. Speaker, I rise today just to ask this simple question to my colleagues here in the House and to our counterparts in the Senate, and that is simply this: Does it make sense for us to speed ahead with $1.3 trillion in new entitlement spending when our country is in the middle of a debt crisis and Medicare and Social Security are on the brink of bankruptcy? If the answer is ``yes,'' then you can go home and explain that to your constituents. If the answer is ``no,'' maybe we could explain why we are doing it. ___________________
