In this episode, we break down the 2025 government shutdown—what triggered it, how it stacks up against past shutdowns, and what the real-world impact looks like for workers, businesses, and everyday Americans. Beyond the headlines, we dig into the political standoff driving the crisis, explore the ripple effects on the economy, and ask whether Washington is locked in a cycle of dysfunction with no end in sight.
Listeners will walk away with context, clarity, and maybe a headache from realizing how little progress gets made when partisan theater takes center stage.
