As U.S. House passes debt ceiling deal, 4 of SC's 7 representatives vote against it

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "Once you dissect the bill, this bill is un-American.
44% : In a tweet Tuesday, Clyburn called the bill "a pretty good deal," saying while no one would be totally satisfied by the compromise, it "prevents a default, preserves Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, and expands access to critical programs."
38% : In statements and interviews before the vote, most of them expressed dissatisfaction with the legislation, saying it did not go far enough to cut government spending.
