This week David Hays had planned to welcome Jolene Dixon from the Bloomington Social Security office to the show... but the government shutdown that began on October 1 cancelled those plans.

So, instead David pivots to The Variety Show!

What actually happens in a government shutdown? What's the different between the debt ceiling and a shutdown? David and Jim Inman will give a history lesson on modern government shutdowns and the reasons behind them. 

David and Jim will also touch on Social Security - the pros and cons of delaying enrollment, what's expected for the COLA (cost of living adjustment) and some strategies for married couples. Plus, FAFSA applications are now being accepted - what does that mean for someone pursuing higher education? David and Jim will talk on all of this and more...
