Is the government really shut down? Or is it just another act in Washington’s endless fiscal theater?   Lt. Col. Allen West, Executive Director of the American Constitutional Rights Union, breaks down what Congress is supposed to be doing under the Constitution—passing 12 appropriations bills, not kicking the can with “continuing resolutions” and massive omnibus spending packages.   In this episode of Live Free TV, Allen West exposes: •Why a “shutdown” doesn’t actually shut down the government •How Congress avoids its biggest constitutional duty—passing a real budget •The dangerous expansion of federal power beyond Article I, Section 8 •Why it’s time for the people (the taxpayers) to decide who’s essential and who’s not   America is approaching its 250th anniversary as the world’s longest-running constitutional republic. To keep it that way, we must hold Washington accountable and return to the rule of law.   👉 Learn more at theacru.org   #GovernmentShutdown #Constitution #AllenWest #ACRU #LiveFreeTV
