Shutdown Standoff & States on the Brink of Recession | This Week's Economy Ep. 134

As of this recording, forecasts suggest this could become the longest federal government shutdown in modern American history. In Washington, tensions are high over mass layoffs and congressional gridlock. Yet across much of the country, it’s business as usual—aside from the twenty-two states sliding toward recession and revising revenue forecasts amid tariff-driven uncertainty. Add in speculation about the Federal Reserve’s next rate cut, and the picture becomes even more unsettled. In this episode of This Week’s Economy, I break down the latest developments—from the shutdown to potential interest rate cuts—and explore solutions rooted in sound, time-tested economic principles.  You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.
