Making Sense Of Cents: Setting The Federal Budget

Making Sense Of Cents: Setting The Federal Budget

President Trump has called for the government's spending to be wrapped into "one big, beautiful bill" along with other legislative priorities, but Congress may have other ideas. We explore how the White House and Congress will need to work together to fund the government.

This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith.

The podcast is produced by Bria Suggs & Kelli Wessinger and edited by Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
