America: A History

IN THE MAKING: Do the Right Thing and End the US Government Shutdown


Listen Later

This week, I'm going solo for an ad hoc episode discussing the US government shutdown, as the federal budget stalls in congress.

Non-essential services are now frozen, as many Americans find themselves out of work until this situation is resolved.

So what is it, why does it keep happening, and why is it continuing?

All of this and more on another edition of America: A History in the Making.
