In response to the threat that the treasury would possibly withhold Social Security Benefits if the debt ceiling isn't raised, Senator Lee demands that President Obama provide more details of his spending priorities and asks why these benefits to seniors were moved to the top of the list of potential cuts. He also suggests that the President support the Cut, Cap, Balance Act, which would raise the debt ceiling.
