Government is Re-Opened for Business

Chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus and Seasoned Political Activist Matt Nye uses his expertise to dive deep into the Government shutdown, what is accomplished and how it became re-opened.

The Senate reached a deal to end the three-day government shutdown after Democrats worked with Republicans to pass a three-week extension of temporary funding in exchange for a promise from GOP lawmakers to allow a vote on a bill to address the status of young undocumented immigrants.

If lawmakers cannot agree on an immigration bill before the short-term funding agreement expires next month, those workers could be furloughed again. Who were the winners and losers?
