Government shutdown: ‘The people working just aren’t getting paychecks’

On day eight of the partial government shutdown, more federal workers — just 15 percent of whom work in Washington, D.C. — are notified of whether they will be furloughed or required to work without pay into the new year. NPR congressional reporter Kelsey Snell joins Alison Stewart from the capital to discuss the financial impact of the shutdown and how nine major government agencies are affected.
