Squirrel Unleashed

The Price of Distance


Listen Later

Four trillion dollars just moved through Congress — and almost nobody blinked.
This episode peels back the layers of a sweeping spending bill that reshapes everything from daycare to defense, not with fanfare, but with quiet procedural force. Beneath the surface lies a choreography of reconciliation tricks, selective outrage, and fine-print fallout that defines how modern governance really works.

We examine the mythology of fiscal discipline, the ritual performance of “budget cuts,” and how the illusion of oversight masks a deeper truth: the system is functioning exactly as designed — just not for you.    

Featuring: reconciliation loopholes, narrative control, and a closer look at who’s always stuck paying the bill.
