Government shutdowns have become a predictable crisis in Washington, but they don’t save money—they cost taxpayers billions while grinding essential services to a halt. From stalled small business loans and delayed passports to wasted federal dollars and lost productivity, shutdowns hurt everyday Americans and damage our country’s credibility on the world stage.
In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Oklahoma Senator James Lankford about his Preventing Government Shutdown Act. Senator Lankford explains how his plan would keep the government open, force Congress to focus on appropriations, and protect taxpayers from the waste and uncertainty of shutdown politics. This is a candid look at the reforms needed to bring common sense back to the budget process.
