The Government Shutdown, it doesnt appear an end is in sight but the ominous deadline has to do with the debt ceiling.

Now the American People expect when their leaders have differences and we are in a time of crisis that well sit down and at least have a conversation. Really, mr. President. Its time to have that conversation. Reporter but the Government Shutdown showdown is nothing compared to the potential economic peril if political leaders dont agree to raise the debt court of appeal ing in the coming week s.
