Government Shutdown
A budget showdown is on the horizon which threatens to shut down the federal government if a compromise can't be reached. Congressman Steve Scalise says the American people are tired of watching Washington spend more and more while they have to cut back. US Senator Mary Landrieu says the democrats are ready and willing to make cuts but she says the republicans only want to cut the budget in areas that suit their agenda.
