In the Crossfire: The economics of it all

The shutdown continues as the U.S. inches closer to the debt ceiling. Meetings are happening, and even when they don’t, it seems that it’s simply to hash out more negotiations. There are hopeful signs, but what if they can’t make a deal?

In the Crossfire tonight, Carly Fiorina, a former CEO, and Austan Goolsbee, former Obama economic adviser, join hosts Stephanie Cutter and Newt Gingrich at 6:30pET. They’ll debate the possible consequences of a debt ceiling breach and break down the economics of it all.

Join the conversation and tell us what you would ask Fiorina and Goolsbee by tweeting with #Crossfire.

We want you to weigh in. Are you optimistic that a deal will pass Congress this week? Reply now below, by replying to our tweet or by commenting on our Facebook post.
