Putting the Fun in 'Fungible' (featuring Sen. Jeff Bridges)

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…we already make the joke about the actor Jeff Bridges in the intro to the interview but we’ve got the Chairman of Colorado’s powerful Joint Budget Committee — State Senator Jeff Bridges — on the show to explain the insane math problem that is the Colorado state budget.

The economy is rolling along, unemployment is low, and revenue is more than enough to meet spending obligations, so why are we about to cut $1.2 billion from the state budget? Senator Bridges makes it make sense in this interview-only episode.
