U.S. Government Has Fallen and Can’t Get Up

If our government was wearing a life alert, now would be a good time to push the button for help. Are any of the three branches of the federal government working at all for the people? 
And, yes that’s rhetorical, you know the answer. While the federal government continues to get larger, the problems created by the bureaucracy, lifetime politicians, and radical judges whittle
away our individual freedom and liberty.
A current example of the failed institutions within our government is on full display this week as the Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and the Republicans grapple with a government shutdown, again.  Every year, the federal budget should be passed by the end of September. It never happens.  Instead, massive omnibus spending bills are forced on the American people with large deficit spending adding trillions to the $33 trillion national debt.
As the deadline looms for a solution the Republicans look to a Continuing Resolution to continue the Nancy Pelosi spending from the last Congress. Against the deadline, Kevin McCarthy decided to only have a three-and-a-half-day work week for Congress after just coming off a 4-week break.
During those three and a half days there were some interesting hearings to attempt to reveal some truth and hold Attorney General Merrick Garland accountable.  On this episode of Our Lives & Politics we break down some of the Republican’s infighting and hear the testimony of Merrick Garland.
