Wait, is the System Actually Working? Why Congress is a Lot More Effective than you Think
from Beyond Politics · host Matt Robison
There's a perception that Congress is totally gridlocked, and that the parties do nothing but bicker. But our expert guest says that maybe we're all being a little too negative, because actually, Congress gets more done while you're not looking than you'd think. And despite the historic problems we've seen recently (think insurrection), the system is kind of holding together.
