Federal Budget Debate Continues

STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI)-The battle over the budget crisis continues in Washington, D.C.

The national debt is $16 trillion and growing.

Mississippi Congressman Gregg Harper says the problem between the House and the Sentate is finding a solution to government spending.
