Shutdowns have consequences (feat. AltSpaceForce
Some...years it feels like Congress is the opposite of progress, and the government just can't get past an impasse. It happened for more than a month in 2018-2019 and it's looking like it might happen again.
In this week's UnSpun, learn how politicians distract from their failings with red herrings - galling or enthralling distractions that keep you away from the truth. Then, enjoy my #AltGov guest, who shares what the costs of a shutdown are for people who depend on government services - you and me - by reading an excerpt from my book We Are #AltGov written to give the civil servant insight on the last time the government ran out of money.
