House Passes Short-Term Spending Bill, But a Fight Brews in the Senate

James Arkin, Congressional Reporter for RealClearPolitics, discusses the impending government shutdown as the House passes a short-term resolution and a fight is brewing in the Senate.

Whether a short-term fix passes or the government shuts down completely, Arkin says it's important to remember that eventually lawmakers will have to agree on a long-term bill.
