Political ramifications as government shutdown drags on

from Political Breakfast from WABE · host WABE

On this edition of Political Breakfast, it's week two of the federal government shutdown, and that's taking a toll on workers who are going without pay at the world's busiest airport in Atlanta. Many are already living paycheck to paycheck. Now: half a paycheck to half a paycheck, thanks to the stall in Washington. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam discuss how this is becoming more entangled in Georgia, and national politics. Plus, we hear from a local union representative for TSA workers, Aaron Barker. If the shutdown lags on, could this become a national security issue?
