Rep. Hoyer: Debt Ceiling Fight 'Like Taking Your Child Hostage'

House Democratic Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) “It’s somewhat like taking your child hostage and saying to somebody else, ‘I’m going to shoot my child if you don’t do what I want done.’ You don’t want to shoot your child. There’s no Republican leader that wants to default on our debt — that I’ve talked to — so that ought to be non-partisan.”
