Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley on Government Shutdown
The federal government shutdown continues with no end in sight, as neither Republicans nor Democrats are willing to back down.
Republicans need 60 votes to advance a stop-gap bill that would fund the government through late November, but most Senate Democrats are refusing to support it until they get extensions for Affordable Care Act subsidies.
- Democrats warn that premiums could skyrocket if subsidies are not extended.
- Republicans say they will negotiate once the government is reopened.
The federal government shutdown: no end in sight.
Senator Jeff Merkley, who recently made national news with a 22-hour and 36-minute Senate floor speech, joined KATU's Steve Dunn on Your Voice, Your Vote to discuss the shutdown.
