Peter Schiff: Keep the baby panda alive during government shutdown

Published on Sep 27, 2013

As the government creeps closer to a potential shutdown next week, party unity is beginning to fracture among Republicans on Capitol Hill. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) spoke on the Senate floor on Thursday, criticizing his fellow Republican senators Ted Cruz from Texas and Mike Lee from Utah for grandstanding and delaying the votes necessary to avert a government shutdown. Despite Cruz’s and Lee’s tactics, Friday afternoon the Senate passed its plan to keep the government – and Obamacare – funded. Now House Republicans face a choice by this Monday: Cave on Obamacare and accept the Senate’s bill to keep the government funded or dig their heels in and stand firm on defunding Obamacare, plunging the government into a shutdown. And once the government funding is figured out, Congress then faces a fight over raising the debt ceiling. RT’s Sam Sacks talks to Peter Schiff, CEO and chief global strategist at Euro Pacific Capital, about the current congressional debates.
