In Depth: Sen. Sessions on why he doesn't expect progress from Biden's budget meeting

Big decisions need to be made on Capitol Hill this week, as Vice President Biden resumes budget talks with top lawmakers today. Just a couple of weeks ago, the Federal Government maxed-out its credit, and the White House wants to bump up its spending limits, but the Republicans have so far been rejecting that request.
