Without The State

The U.S. debt has reached $34 trillion and the U.S. is already being funded by deficit. What will the debt be by the end of 2024? It seems congress has reached a deal but not quite official yet. In this episode we discuss the deficit spending and possible outcomes of the future. This careless spending can only be made possible by having a central bank. I hope you enjoy this episode and I appreciate everyone who takes the time to listen.

It seems that the U.S. government can't help itself when it comes to intervening in conflicts around the world. It topples regimes, fights wars via proxy, and props up governments around the world through economic and military aid. This is of course a consequence of a central bank that supplies endless money for endless wars. There is still overwhelming support to fund the war in Ukraine as well as the Israel and Hamas conflict. https://www.yahoo.com/news/sen-bernie-sanders-vt-don-105147069.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6L-Je9m-xo https://www.axios.com/2023/11/04/us-israel-aid-military-funding-chart https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/pressure-israel-over-civilians-steps-up-ceasefire-calls-rebuffed-2023-11-06/ https://news.antiwar.com/2023/11/05/israeli-minister-says-dropping-nuke-on-gaza-is-an-option/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/withoutthestatepodcast/support

The first debate has concluded and it was a shit show to say the least. Pence attempted to bully Ramaswamy for being young and lack of experience as did Nikki Haley did at times. Vivek clashed with just about everyone on the stage. I personally think he performed the best although overall the whole debate lacked real questions and vague solutions. DeSantis attempted to be energetic and preach America first phrases that didn't really mean anything. It is still too early to tell who will make as the nominee. Trump is still in the race as of now.

This episode I discuss my favorite economists and philosophers. Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman are two of my favorite people in the liberty movement. Without these two people I wouldn't be who I am today. I also suggest looking at work from Thomas Lowell, Ludwig Von Mises, David Friedman, and Walter Williams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mrMSXr8_nQ&list=PL658A06660848E2D8&index=81 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq9Qe67QUmA --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/withoutthestatepodcast/support
