House GOP not ready to blink on debt negotiations - Jake Sherman and Jonathan Allen
This guy is scaring me. Just irresponsibly stubborn.
Rep. Michael Grimm stood at a closed-door meeting of House Republicans Tuesday and delivered a vivid account of his view of the debt-limit crisis.
“I’ve had a gun to my head, literally,” Grimm, a former FBI agent from New York, said, according to two sources in the room. “Didn’t blink then, won’t blink now.”
That’s the same feeling gripping House Republican lawmakers and aides three weeks before the Obama administration says the nation will run out of money to pay its bills. There is no proposal that satisfies House Republicans. Quite simply, nothing passes their muster.
