WomenMatter Facts & Trade-Offs provides all women with the tools and information to change American politics and culture. By stepping back in time and space we can understand the facts about our political system today and the trade-offs of the various policy solutions that we see politicians and candidates debate in the news.

WomenMatter: Facts & Trade-Offs Women and the War Word highlighted the significance of Congress and its Constitutional responsibility to represent US.

But can Congress do this important job, when politics is polarized?

This show, Oversight, Insight, & Hindsight, examines the facts and history behind the ongoing debate about congressional oversight, taking a hard look at what minority parties really can accomplish and at OUR role in relation to the branch that represents us.

Dr. Bauer interviews Thomas E. Mann, W. Averell Harriman Chair and Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at The Brookings Institution and author of numerous books and articles on American government, including The Broken Branch: How Congress Is Failing America and How to Get It Back on Track.

Oversight, Insight, & Hindsight, is the first in a series of WomenMatter Facts & Trade-Offs shows tracking how Congress uses insight and hindsight to carry out its Constitutional responsibility for oversight.
