Democrats and the Power of Pain - The Big Picture with Jack Atherton

Could the government shutdown be more than just a political stalemate? Was is just a ploy to give the American people some pain? Join Jack Atherton as he unravels this complex issue. We tackle the unsettling question of whether the Democratic Party, with its reputation for supporting big government, allowed the shutdown to gain political leverage. Together, we explore the potential consequences of increased public reliance on government aid and the risk it poses to America's entrepreneurial spirit and self-reliance. Through historical comparisons to previous welfare and immigration policies, we shed light on the shifting dynamics between individual independence and societal dependency.
