Indiana leaders are drawing a direct line between the $38 trillion national debt and America’s long-term security.

And with Indiana being very dependent on federal funds for Medicaid, roads and education, cuts could impact the state budget.
We hear from Governor Braun, State Comptroller Elise Nishalla and other legislative leaders.
