Texas Standard for January 18, 2017
The price of disagreement in Texas? It comes to $5.3 billion dollars. But what does the chasm between the House and Senate add up to? We’ll explore. And: With the nation getting set for an inauguration, hundreds of thousands of women prepare to go marching on Washington. We’ll explore the power of a mode of protest. Also: Venezuela scraps old paper for new. It’s hardly a solution to hyperinflation – and now it might it cause more problems than it solves.

Those stories and lots more, today on the Texas Standard:
