Bill Clinton told ABC News that parts of the House GOP proposal to raise the debt ceiling are “chilling” and “almost spiteful” in the way that it would impact low-income Americans.
Said Clinton: “If I were the president, I wouldn’t negotiate over these draconian cuts that are going to take food off the table of low-income working people, while they leave all the agricultural subsidies in for high-income farmers and everything else. I just think it’s — it’s chilling to me.”
