Rep Grayson: GOP Trying To Lower Debt Ceiling 'Legislative Terrorism'

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) said republicans are using the debt ceiling as “a device to extract concessions they would otherwise never be able to accomplish. That is why it is legislative terrorism. They are using the debt ceiling as a means to cut Social Security benefits, cut Medicare benefits, cut unemployment insurance, cut anything of any use to any ordinary human being in this country simply because they want more money for tax cuts for the rich.”
