Shutdown Showdown: What’s Holding Up a Deal in Congress | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

As the government moves toward a shutdown, with a funding deadline looming on Wednesday, October 1, lawmakers continue to point fingers. Preston Brashers, research fellow for tax policy at The Heritage Foundation, joins to share the main issues holding up an agreement in Congress and how close lawmakers are to reaching a last-minute deal to avoid a shutdown. He also discusses which party or leaders are likely to take most of the political blame if a shutdown occurs and what programs would be most affected in the event a shutdown does happen. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
