Charles Rangel: “So what names go into the hat? Communist China goes into the hat. Iran…”

On the recordMay 9, 2013

So what names go into the hat? Communist China goes into the hat. Iran and Venezuela go into the hat. Saudi Arabia goes into the hat. Russia goes into the hat. Who's outside the hat? Disabled veterans are out of the hat, and health providers are out of the hat. A lot of people who deserve to be considered as creditors to protect full faith and credit are out of the hat. This is bad for my friend--it's worse for our country--and this is not the way those people to whom we owe money should be treated. America is greater than that. {time} 0950
