Summary

Republicans in Congress are playing chicken once again with the nation’s debt ceiling. Are Republicans really ready to test what happens if both sides can’t come to an agreement, or is this just political theatre? Andy talks to New York Times Congressional Correspondent Catie Edmondson, and Michael Feroli, Chief U.S. Economist at J.P. Morgan.
