单集简介 ...

One task the federal government does a lot of is gathering data -- on prices, on the job market, and on a bunch of other things. When the government is shut down, those data aren't getting collected, and economic policy decisions based on those data aren't getting made with the full picture. We discuss why this aspect of the government shutdown has a broader impact than you might think. This episode: political correspondent Ashley Lopez, White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, and senior economic correspondent Scott Horsley. This podcast was produced and edited by Casey Morell & Bria Suggs. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
