Sen. Warren Warns Republican Tactics Will Put 1M Out Of Work

"Mark Zandi came in and he said if they push us to even a temporary debt default, it's going to push the country into a recession and it's going to cost a million people their jobs," Warren said.

Anderson Cooper featured Sen. Elizabeth Warren last night to talk about what she expects from the budget negotiations.

"The Republican leadership both in the House and Senate said they are not interested in changes to Social Security and Medicare. Do you believe them?" Cooper asked.

"Well, you know, I don't know what their plan is here. What the president is trying to do, for example, with Medicare is to say we can extend the life of Medicare by just changing how much we're paying the drug companies, negotiating for drug prices and bring down costs for American families," she said.

"If the Republicans want to sit down and negotiate, what they want to do is first they want to bring down the national debt, great. How about we ask someone like Jeff Bezos to pay more in taxes than a Boston public school teacher? Because right now, that's all he's paying."
