Republicans consider “blocking net neutrality” among debt ceiling demands

Only those who are following the ins and outs of the latest round of Washington (DC) shenanigans might know that the American federal government is likely to shut down next week as the result of a Republican-led political tactic. The House of Representatives majority party continually refuses to vote to raise the debt ceiling, a limit on how much debt the American government can incur. The Republican leadership has apparently leaked a document with a laundry list of political demands that it wants in exchange for approving a debt ceiling raise. Even stranger, among a long list of demands is this curious line: “Blocking Net Neutrality.”
