Grayson Uses Story to Urge Passage of Unemployment Benefits

I know Alan Grayson from near my former congressional district in Central Florida is a pariah to many, but I am citing this powerful, very short speech because it starts with a story — about his grandfather searching for stuff in the dump that he could sell to support his family of seven children during the Great Depression.

He uses his story to make a point about what’s happening today. I think it’s effective. What do you think?
