Episode Synopsis

Washington has ground to a halt thanks to a government shutdown, triggered by Congress being unable to agree on a funding bill. It is the 15th government shutdown since 1981, which will likely slow the release of key reports and lead to the furlough of 750,000 federal workers at a daily cost of $US400 million.
