Listen "Michael Bitzer Catawba College Political Science Professor"
Episode Synopsis
The Senate has taken the first step to end the government shutdown after a group of moderate Democrats agreed to proceed without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies. This angered many Democrats who say Americans want them to continue the fight. In a test vote that is the first in a series of procedural maneuvers, the Senate voted late Sunday to move toward passing compromise legislation to fund the government and hold a vote by mid-December on extending expiring health care tax credits. Michael Bitzer, Catawba College Political Science professor, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the end of the shutdown.
