CD323: Shutdown Bad
Show notes
Congress is once again playing with fire, and this time it's the Democrats holding the match. In today's episode, I'm sounding the alarm about a looming government shutdown that could hit at midnight on September 30th. History tells us shutdowns backfire on the party that demands partisan add-ons to must-pass funding bills, yet Democrats are betting they can use that same failed strategy and escape the blame. I'll walk you through the shutdown showdowns of the past decade, explain what's different—and more dangerous—about this moment, and lay out the real costs to workers, taxpayers, and the stability of our government. Most importantly, I'll explain why keeping the government open isn't just smart politics—it's essential for protecting our government.
