We cover workers without paychecks in california, nasa operating on a skeleton cue in houston, and reports. Day one of the federal Government Shutdown is about to turn into day two. Tuesday was spent lobbing blame back and forth on capitol hill. Senate democrats are sticking to the pledge to support a clean funding bill. They say while they want the Government Back up and running, its not worth tearing apart the federal health care law. Harry reid, the majority speaker, called on john boehner to stop the game. Republicans are saying that it may be time to talk about passing a clean spending bit without dealing with the federal healthcare law, about the gop leadership is pushing forward and not giving a lot of ground.
