Fed Gov. Lael Brainard on the longest shutdown in history

By Kai Ryssdal and Sean McHenry
January 19, 2019
"Every time that the economy gets to a shutdown or a debt limit, you really do sense that desire from Americans across the country for the government to function well, and to be predictable, and I think that's what we're seeing today. People want to go back to work. They want to get their paychecks. This is affecting communities all over the country," said member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors Lael Brainard.
 
Stuart Isett/Fortune

The economy has been "pretty healthy," she says, but the shutdown is one of the downside risks the Fed is watching.
