About this listen
Why does Congress keep careening toward government shutdowns?
In this episode of Follow the Carrot, we unpack the incentive structures behind America’s recurring budget brinkmanship. From missed deadlines to media showdowns, we explore why threatening a shutdown often pays off more than solving the problem. You’ll hear how outdated rules, partisan fundraising, and committee politics reward gridlock—and what realignment might take to make collaboration more than a campaign slogan.
Tune in to understand why dysfunction isn’t just tolerated—it’s incentivized.
