On eve of shutdown deadline, Congress has a trillion-dollar divide

House Speaker John Boehner announced a budget deal just a day before the deadline for a possible federal government shutdown.

Political editor Lisa Desjardins joins Judy Woodruff to take a look at the fine print and the political wrangling over the more than $1 trillion package.
