The stalemate over Wisconsin’s budget continues, and some lawmakers are considering the idea of the Assembly and Senate drafting separate budgets. We find out how that would work and what issues are dividing Republicans. From little white lies to hurtful deceptions, dishonesty seems to be a part of being human. Our guest explores the science of why we lie. Plus, with the Islamic holy month of Ramadan underway, we hear how to support coworkers that observe the traditional fasting from dawn til dusk.
