The US Treasury Secretary says that the debt ceiling needs to be raised, but can it be done without another partisan showdown? Join host Ben Kieffer to hear about what’s getting done in DC, and what is not likely to get done before politicians are again entrenched in another election cycle.  Also, have a look overseas to updates on mid-east peace talks, Egypt, and China's recent economic slowdown.  Kieffer is joined by Donna Hoffman from University of Northern Iowa and DavidSkidmore from Drake University.
