In this episode of the Good for America podcast, former Congressman Bob Good takes a deep dive into the Schumer shutdown deal and what it reveals about the current state of Washington politics. He unpacks the true cost of government spending and how short-term funding measures continue to kick the can down the road on America’s long-term fiscal crisis. With a focus on SNAP benefits, Obamacare subsidies, and the growing role of federal welfare programs, Bob examines how these policies affect both taxpayers and the nation’s economic health.

He also explores the broader consequences of the deal for the federal workforce, the Republican Party’s negotiating power, and the American people who ultimately bear the burden of Washington’s choices. Tune in for a candid and insightful discussion on the political dynamics driving government funding — and why standing firm on principles is key to securing America’s financial future.
