Episode notes
INSIGHT

Most Government Functions Keep Running

  • A true "government shutdown" is misleading because most essential machinery keeps running.
  • About 83% of federal functions continue (nuclear monitoring, air traffic control, food inspection, benefits, military).
ADVICE

Stay Calm — Know What Stops

  • Don't panic when media screams "shutdown"; focus on which public-facing services will pause.
  • Track essential exemptions so you know which services (payments, security, safety) will continue uninterrupted.
ADVICE

Require Work For Certain Benefits

  • Oppose policies that extend taxpayer-funded benefits without work requirements if you worry about fiscal sustainability.
  • Insist on targeted eligibility (work or volunteering) for able-bodied adults to limit costs.
