Episode 82: Debt Ceiling Sets up Major Battle in Congress

Yellen sent a letter to Congressional leaders Thursday notifying them that the agency has begun taking “extraordinary measures” as the federal government bumps up against its debt limit of just over $31 trillion. President Joe Biden touted Americans' rising wages over the weekend, but a closer look shows there is more to the story.
