The article is a transcript of an interview between Margaret Brennan and Kevin Hassett, Director of the White House National Economic Council, on 'Face the Nation' on November 9, 2025. The discussion revolves around the ongoing government shutdown, its economic implications, and the administration's stance on various issues including food stamps, military pay, and healthcare. Hassett emphasizes the administration's commitment to upholding the law and avoiding illegal spending. He discusses the potential economic impact of the shutdown, including a possible negative quarter for the fourth quarter due to disrupted travel and commerce during the holiday season. The conversation also touches on the administration's proposal to reform healthcare by allowing individuals to use funds allocated for Obamacare premiums to purchase their own healthcare plans. Hassett clarifies that this is an idea being considered and not a formal proposal. The shutdown, now the longest in American history, continues with no clear resolution in sight.

However, the deal has sparked protests from progressives who accuse their moderate colleagues of backing down and handing President Donald Trump a victory. The shutdown has caused significant disruptions to millions of Americans, and the compromise has exposed deep divisions within the Democratic Party.

The US Senate has advanced a bill to end the 40-day federal shutdown by funding the government until January 30. The bill, which was passed with a 60-40 margin, will be amended to include a package of three full-year appropriations bills. The deal was brokered by a group of Democrats and an independent senator, and includes a vote in December on extending subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
