The Mad Centrist - The political podcast for the rest of us.
The MAD Centrist – named after the Kurt Vonnegut quote from The Monkey House, “A sane person to an insane society must appear insane.”
The Budget - the next topic in the Government Economics series.
The American budget process is complex, but not overly so. Still, it seems neither party is capable of getting a budget together at all - much less on time. There are lots of reasons why, but not many of them are good. And none of them are good for the USA.
Plus, hear about my vacation! Because, why not?

The dates of the budget passing, and not passing: Congressional Budget Act Turns 49 | The U.S. House Committee on the Budget - House Budget Committee
Did Nikki Haley get this right? Well, we had the same facts, so yes, she did: FACT CHECK: Has Congress Only Passed Four Budgets On Time In The Past 40 Years? | Check Your Fact
I also mentioned Congressional re-election rates, here is where I got the stats from: Reelection Rates Over the Years • OpenSecrets
