LONGTIME CONSERVATIVE STRATEGEST JON FLEISCHMAN WALKS LISTENERS THROUGH THE WHY OF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNReporting from the Dodger Stadium parking lot before Game 5 of the World Series (which, as it turns out, did not go so well), Jon Fleischman takes a short break from California politics to talk about what’s unfolding in Washington. The federal budget mess may seem distant, but it has enormous consequences here at home—especially with 54 California politicians helping shape federal policy. In this week’s video commentary, I explain how Congress keeps government running with “Christmas-tree” spending bills and endless “continuing resolutions” that pile ornaments of new spending onto a sagging tree. And what is it that Democrats are trying to get done, apparently, and why are they holding up passing a funding bill for the government?
