3:09Now PlayingLawmakers are hard at work trying to figure out how to avoid a government shutdown as US funding is set to expire at the end of the day on Thursday.
BNC’s Bofta Yimam tapped in to “Start Your Day” to share with Sharon Reed the impact of the federal government not being able to pay its bills, especially during a pandemic. In terms of how this affects BNC viewers and beyond, treasury secretary Janet Yellen says people could see big cuts to Medicaid and free school lunches, 50 million seniors could stop receiving social security checks and troops could go unpaid. Despite these facts, the GOP refuses to suspend or raise the debt limit.
All this and more on “Start Your Day.”
