Description

The U.S. government shutdown is now official, after Congress failed to pass its latest spending bill. Only essential services will continue until Congress can agree on a new bill. In the meantime, President Donald Trump has announced he plans to use the shutdown as an opportunity to cut government spending and shrink the federal workforce.

We’ll discuss this topic and others, in this episode of Crossroads.
