Episode 3: Economics of Government Shutdowns​
​
​In this episode, we break down the 2025 government shutdown and its surprising economic effects. From furloughed federal workers to paused social programs like SNAP and Medicaid, we explore how political gridlock hits households, businesses, and the national economy — and why the consequences last even after the shutdown ends. Learn how shutdowns affect GDP, consumer confidence, investment decisions, and why government spending isn’t just politics — it’s a major economic force.
