Senior White House officials and GOP congressional leaders have apparently reached a deal that would fund government operations for two years while significantly raising both defense and non-defense spending. But there are some other changes included in the deal… John Iadarola (Think Tank) and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down.
