Podcasts about deficits

Send us a textDo Deficits Make You Rich?The uncomfortable truth: fiscal stimulus creates wealth, not consumer inflation.Sat pondering in a Caribbean bar, thinking about intelligence, the Fed, deficits, and why inflation lives in Wall Street not in your supermarket basket. When the government runs a deficit, it injects reserves into the system, an automatic overdraft with the banking system. Later it issues Treasuries that drain those reserves. Economists call it a swap. Net financial wealth in the private sector rises because no one in the private sector owes that shortfall. The government owes it. Not another private entity.So does government spending make you rich? Deficits don't spill into the supermarket, they seep into the trading book. Treasuries move through repo markets, pledged and rehypothecated, transformed into money-like instruments that lubricate leverage. CPI stays calm while portfolios swell. Fiscal deficits expand collateral, leverage builds, and asset prices rise. The inflation we should fear isn't at the checkout counter. It's in the mirror of prudence we call Wall Street.Support the show⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode, Lyn Alden joins the show to explain how tariffs “slow the train but don't stop it,” why the Fed's rate hikes are disconnected from the true inflation source, and how Fed balance sheet expansion is returning. We also discuss the labor cracks, the hidden redistribution of interest income to wealthy savers, and the next phase of the debasement trade.

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, Stu Turley sits down with Wasif Latif, President of Sarmaya Partners, to explore the “Return to Tangibles” investment thesis. Latif explains why commodities like gold, silver, copper, and platinum are outperforming tech stocks and bonds in today's market. He breaks down the geopolitical catalysts, surging industrial demand, and the performance of the LENS ETF—designed to capture this tangible asset boom. From silver's breakout and platinum's comeback to supply chain rewiring and defense-driven resource demand, this episode is a masterclass on navigating a deglobalizing, resource-constrained world.7% retracement is another instance of the market digesting gains rather than signaling exhaustion. We see this spike in volatility as a healthy reset, not a sign of weakness. It's how long-term strength shows up and builds momentum.· Deficits, not just interest rates, are driving liquidity creation. With Social Security, Medicare, and Net Interest absorbing more than half of all U.S. federal outlays, fiscal consolidation seems a politically impossible. This structural imbalance anchors gold's long-term bid as policymakers rely increasingly on monetary and fiscal accommodation to finance spending.· Central banks have become systematic gold buyers, treating it as a Tier 1 reserve asset amid rising geopolitical fragmentation and declining trust in fiat discipline. Their price-insensitive accumulation sets a structural floor beneath the market. For investors, the behavioral edge lies in patience, the capacity to stay invested through cyclical volatility in a secular uptrend.See how energy plays into the return to tangibles.

Have a message for Karena? She'd love to hear from you and share your comment or question on air!Leave Karena a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/KarenaDawnWhat if one terrifying night became the catalyst for a lifetime of healing?In this powerhouse episode of The Big Silence, Karena sits down with Angelo Keely, co-founder and CEO of Kion, to unpack his extraordinary path—from a near-fatal stabbing at 16 to building a company rooted in simple, consistent habits that support both muscle and mood. Angelo breaks down protein (in plain English), and you'll learn how small, repeatable choices can stack up into real change. He also explains why essential amino acids and creatine are especially impactful as we age. If you've wondered how to protect muscle, sharpen your mind, or support mental health without going “all or nothing,” this one's for you.How Do We Build Muscle and Mood—At Any Age—With Protein, Aminos, Creatine, and Consistent Habits?Angelo shares the science and the systems that actually work, and how to choose one tiny action you can repeat every day for real impact.(00:01:00) What Kion Is—and Why Angelo Says You Don't “Need” ItPrinciple first, product second: Food comes first; EAAs are a targeted way to stimulate muscle protein synthesis with fewer calories.Non-workout days matter: EAAs still drive protein synthesis—even on rest days.Consistency > intensity: Angelo takes EAAs every morning (often with creatine) to “tell” his body to rebuild.Better together: Taking EAAs before training leverages increased blood flow for greater impact.(00:05:30) From Bad Trip to Bigger Life: Trauma, Accountability, and 20 Years of IntegrationThe turning point: A severe LSD episode led to assault and multiple stab wounds—sparking a decades-long healing journey.Whole-person recovery: Talk therapy, meditation, yoga, acupuncture, movement, and study.Daily rhythm: 15k steps, basic strength work, slow “zone-2” runs, and short family meditations.One thing rule: Pick one change you'll actually do every day; stack from there.(00:14:30) Protein 101: Why EAAs Can Beat Whey—and Whey Often Beats SteakEnergy vs. materials: Carbs/fats fuel; protein rebuilds tissues, enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters.Quality counts: Higher essential amino acid content + digestibility = stronger protein synthesis signal.Practical takeaway: EAAs can deliver the goal of protein (rebuild/retain muscle) with fewer calories—useful for fat loss without muscle loss.Aging advantage: As we age, we're less sensitive to protein; powders and EAAs become more useful.(00:31:30) Creatine & Women: Strength, Cognition, and Mood—Minus the “Bloat” MythHow it works: Creatine saturates muscle (and brain) phosphocreatine stores, making reps and sprints feel slightly easier—strength builds over time.Brain benefits: Higher intakes in studies have shown improvements in memory/focus; emerging research suggests better depression outcomes.Myth-busting: Quality creatine monohydrate doesn't cause true “bloat”; women tend to gain strength/endur­ance—not bulk.Dosage mindset: Daily use matters (not just on lift days). Pair with protein/EAAs and strength work for the compounding effect.(00:40:30) Weight Loss Without Muscle Loss: GLP-1s, Deficits & The Case for More Protein/EAAsThe risk: Calorie deficits (drug-assisted or not) can strip muscle unless protein/EAAs are substantially higher.Target outcome: Lose fat, keep muscle—use EAAs as a “cheat code” to shore up a...

In the final installment of this three-part series, Darryl Lyons, CEO & Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, takes a deeper look at the widely discussed predictions of a potential market downturn in 2030. Rather than leaning into fear, headlines, or doomsday forecasts, Darryl breaks down the four major forces that many believe could collide: government spending, inflation, demographic shifts, and a potential AI bubble. Darryl also discusses the “Chicken Little” voices that have been calling for market catastrophe for decades, spotlighting the dangers of linear thinking, pessimistic modeling, and predictions that ignore innovation, human behavior, and historical resilience. With a practical and level-headed approach, he discusses why long-term investors often benefit from focusing less on fear and more on building durable plans designed to navigate uncertainty. In this episode, Darryl covers: The four “cars in the intersection” that fuel 2030 crash predictions. Why pessimists are rarely held accountable for bad forecasts. How linear thinking skews market narratives. The potential risks behind government spending and demographics. Why AI could be transformative - even if parts of it become a bubble. Five practical steps for navigating uncertainty. If you missed Parts I and II, be sure to go back and listen so you can follow the full conversation from start to finish.

Calorie cycling isn't a trick—it's stress management for your metabolism. In this Mini Micropedia, Mikki explains how sustained restriction can drive adaptive thermogenesis: leptin falls, ghrelin rises, thyroid output dips, NEAT declines, and fat loss stalls. Then she lays out practical cycling options—from simple weekday–weekend shifts to planned carb refeeds, diet breaks, and PSMF days—so you can periodise your intake around training and real life without blowing your deficit. You'll learn who benefits (and who shouldn't use it), why protein (≥1.6–2.2 g/kg) and resistance training are non-negotiables, and how to set your weekly calorie budget, distribute it across the week, and interpret scale bumps from glycogen and water. The goal: precision over punishment—an approach you can actually sustain.Don't miss Mikki's webinar “Fat Loss in the Festive Season” on Wednesday 29 October, running at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm NZT.Episode HighlightsWhy adaptive thermogenesis makes continuous dieting harder (leptin ↓, ghrelin ↑, thyroid ↓, NEAT ↓).Calorie-cycling options: weekday–weekend shifts, strategic carb refeeds, diet breaks, PSMF; pros and cons.Non-negotiables: high protein (≥1.6–2.2 g/kg) and resistance training to protect lean mass.How to plan: set maintenance, choose a 15–25% weekly deficit, distribute low/high days around training and social life.Interpreting the scale: glycogen + water explain short-term weight spikes after high-carb days.

The US Fiscal Crisis: Spending Cuts Are the Only Way Out GUEST NAME: Adam Michel Adam Michel, director of tax policy at the Cato Institute, discusses the US fiscal crisis stemming from large deficits and overwhelming debt. He recalls the 1980s Ronald Reagan tax cut where promised spending cuts never materialized. The deficit is the annual gap between taxes and spending, accumulating into the national debt. Michel identifies a "deficit hawk coalition" split between deficit hawks (agnostic on revenues/spending) and budget hawks (concerned with government size), advocating for spending cuts to solve the crisis. Entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are the root of fiscal problems. 1903

Fiscal Irresponsibility, the Cost of Debt, and the Loss of Welfare Reform Lessons Veronique De Rugy of the Mercatus Center criticized Washington's fiscal irresponsibility and the mounting cost of debt, arguing that enormous deficits create an anti-growth drag on the economy. She noted that failing to cut spending is a future tax hike. De Rugy lamented the loss of lessons from the 1996 welfare reform, which showed that work requirements reduced poverty, as politicians now prioritize spending checks over fiscal prudence.D 1937

The Debt-to-GDP ratio of the world's largest economies is rising at a frightening pace as reckless deficit spending has become the order of the day.This is increasingly pushing investors into asset classes that offer protection from the inflation/loss of fiat currency purchasing power that results.Meanwhile, the gargantuan buildout of processing power and electricity generation & transmission need for AI is unleashing a global era of "Mine, Baby, Mine".This, also, is enticing investors to own natural resources. Combined together, these two trends paint a very compelling picture of relentless demand for hard assets for the foreseeable future.So, how to take advantage of this trend?Jonathan Wellum, founder of Rocklinc Investment Partners, Thoughtful Money's endorsed Canadian financial advisor, shares how his firm is positioning.For the details, watch this video.YOU CAN STILL GET THE 'LAST CHANCE TO SAVE' PRICE DISCOUNT FOR THE THOUGHTFUL MONEY FALL CONFERENCE AT https://thoughtfulmoney.com/conference#goldprice #oil #commodities _____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.

Deficits & “Stimulus” Checks = More Inflation & A Huge Bubble That Will Burst by Ron Paul Liberty Report

“I do believe it could be an epic lifetime event,” says David Morgan, author of The Silver Manifesto, on the coming surge in gold and silver. Morgan warns that this is “not a nation state event like the Weimar Republic or Argentina… this is a global event.” With central banks scrambling, the dollar under pressure, and industrial demand now consuming up to 70% of all silver, Morgan argues the setup is unprecedented: “Right now… the only way to make supply and demand balance is by eating the above-ground supply.”As gold keeps smashing records—“we're in the acceleration phase… 90% of the move comes in the last 10% of the time”—silver's upside could be even greater. “Gold will get to a point where the average person can't buy an ounce at $4,000, but they can buy a lot of silver at $40. And that's when silver will actually take over gold and out-accelerate it.”✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

From AssetBuilder's Plano HQ, host Joey Badinger sits down with Adam Morse, Janet Griffith, and Tommy Williams to unpack America's debt picture—from household budgets to the federal balance sheet. We break down mortgages vs. auto/student/credit-card debt, what rising rates mean, how to use debt-to-income (DTI) the smart way (the 28/36 rule), and practical habits to avoid lifestyle creep and instant-gratification financing. You'll learn: How much U.S. households owe (and where it sits by generation) Why mortgages can be “productive” debt—and why long car loans aren't Current rate realities (mortgage, auto, student loans, credit cards) Exactly how to calculate your DTI (with target ranges) Behavior traps: BNPL, long auto terms, monthly-payment thinking What “deficits” mean at home and at the national level—and why they compound Hosts & Credentials: Joey Badinger (Lead Advisor), Adam Morse (Director of Advising), Janet Griffith (Senior Advisor), Tommy Williams (Associate Advisor), AssetBuilder, Plano, TX.

Mortgages can raise quality of life; revolving/consumer debt at high APRs can snowball. Auto loans are 2nd-largest consumer debt and loan terms are stretching—be wary of “just the monthly.” Credit-card APRs >20% make balances dangerous; build emergency savings to avoid swipes under stress. DTI targets: ≤28% housing (PITI+HOA), ≤36% total debts is healthy; 50%+ is a red flag. Behavior beats hacks: budget regularly, delay gratification, prefer used cars/shorter terms, question “need vs. want.” Hashtags & Keywords Keywords: consumer debt 2025, debt to income ratio, 28/36 rule, mortgage vs rent, auto loan terms, credit card APR, student loans, national debt vs GDP, budgeting tips, AssetBuilder advisors Hashtags: #PersonalFinance #DebtFreeJourney #DTI #Mortgage #AutoLoans #CreditCards #Investing #Budgeting #KeepItSimplePodcast #AssetBuilder

More than half of early years and school age care facilities in Clare have staffing deficits. It follows a new members survey by Early Childhood Ireland, which shows 56% of settings in this county reported staff vacancies in the last 12 months. As part of its pre-budget submission, it's calling on the Government to guarantee pay parity between Early Years graduates and primary school teachers, who are qualified to the same level. Owner of Room to Bloom in Cloughleigh, Hazel O'Connor says the gap in conditions is a huge challenge for the sector.

Michelle Gibley says investors should keep an eye on foreign governments as they grapple with reducing fiscal deficits. With the Nasdaq hitting records, she notes that France, the UK, and Japan are under the microscope. Gibley believes the bond market will ultimately win the "tug of war" between voter pressure and investor demands for reduced deficits. She also discusses the big picture on inflation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode, Anthony and Piers dig into the surge in UK borrowing costs, now at their highest since 1998. Is this a warning sign or just a media-fueled blip? They explore the fiscal strain, political reshuffling, and why the pound took a sharp hit earlier in the week.The conversation then turns to the deeper structural issues—rising inflation, slowing growth, and a widening current account deficit. Could this all snowball into a credibility crisis for the UK government and Bank of England?Also in this episode: gold's breakout past $3,500, Goldman's bold $5,000 call, and what the rally tells us about fading trust in fiat systems and central bank independence.(00:00) UK: Borrowing & Inflation(08:41) Debt Spiral(17:17) Deficits & Outlook(25:56) Gold as Hedge(34:25) Trust in Gov't & Banks

He notes the UK is exhibiting "precrisis" signs with a weakening pound and rising long-term borrowing costs, reflecting a loss of investor confidence in its economic growth.

Economic Update returns next week to its regular schedule! This week's episode was recorded in June this year and covers topics our viewers have written to us and requested. Professor Wolff explains what deficits are and why the capitalist system enables and invites employers to cause them. He then proceeds to explain how deficits both solve specific problems of capitalism while also causing others. Over time, problems accumulate to undermine the credit of the US and bring economic crisis. Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is shown to offer one way out of the crisis by changing how money is created.    The d@w Team Economic Update with Richard D.

Louis-Vincent Gave returns with a blunt assessment of a global order fraying at key seams. Construction is stalling. Trade policy is adrift. Capital is retreating from the U.S. And yet, markets hum along... propped up by AI euphoria and the illusion of fiscal permanence. In this conversation with Alan Dunne, Louis questions whether investors grasp the shifting ground beneath their feet: from rising tariff walls to energy fragility, from the quiet restructuring of China's financial system to the early signals of capital rotation into emerging markets. If this is a transition phase, most portfolios aren't built for what comes next.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow Louis on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 02:20 - (Re)Introduction to Louis Gave03:45 - Gave's analysis of the current economic data09:45 - What causes the weakening of the economy?11:54 - The outlook for tariffs - will they eventually become stable?16:16 - The future for inflation - will it become more persistent over time?20:43 - The risk factors of energy markets25:51 - Will we see a Fed cut in September?26:58 - Powell - in or out?31:13 - We are seeing a paradigm shift in the US Dollar38:26 - The outcome of the AI revolution43:03 - Deficits are like tequila shots46:55 -...

Big Beautiful Bankruptcy Update Deficits Skyrocketing by Ron Paul Liberty Report

In this 10-minute episode, Zach Baker, DPT, and Asher Roberts, DPT, unpack a 2024 study by Hashida et al. that sheds light on an often-overlooked issue: athletes may still have lingering deficits even after being cleared to return to play. Learn how a simple, feasible dual-task test can reveal residual post-concussion impairments that standard assessments might miss—and how this can impact your return-to-play decisions in the clinic.Referenced Study:Hashida et al. (2024). Feasible dual-task detects residual post-concussion deficits after return-to-play.DOI: 10.1080/02640414.2024.2447666

Joel Smith speaks on 12 reasons why athletes and coaches may hit a plateau in their performance programs. These include: 1. Lack of stimulation in the training environment 2. Too much stimulation in the training environment 3. Not enough creativity or novelty 4. Lack of a clear plan 5. Too much weightlifting 6. Not enough weightlifting 7. Monotony from failing to wave training loads 8. A lack of representative play and exploration 9. Deficits in skill learning 10. Programs that feel too constricting 11. Athletes not feeling truly seen or heard 12.  Gaps in belief and motivation In this episode, we'll unpack these elements one by one, while also exploring practical methods coaches and athletes can use to break through these plateaus and unlock new levels of performance. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength. View more podcast episodes at the podcast homepage. (https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 1:10 – Lack of Stimulation in the Training Environment3:18 – Too Much Stimulation in the Training Environment6:00 – Not Enough Creativity or Novelty7:36 – Lack of a Clear Plan10:20 – Too Much Weightlifting12:12 – Not Enough Weightlifting13:44 – Monotony from Failing to Wave Training Loads16:00 – A Lack of Representative Play and Exploration18:25 – Deficits in Skill Learning20:47 – Programs That Feel Too Constricting23:00 – Athletes Not Feeling Truly Seen or Heard25:03 – Gaps in Belief and Motivation Actionable Takeaways Lack of Stimulation in the Training Environment – [1:10] Athletes disengage when training lacks challenge or relevance. Too many repetitive drills and static formats dull the nervous system and the mind. What to try: Use small-sided games or reactive drills to increase decision density. Rotate training environments or sensory constraints to create novelty. Avoid overly choreographed warmups—build something they have to solve. Too Much Stimulation in the Training Environment – [3:18] Overloading athletes with chaos, cues, or novelty can backfire. When there's too much going on, meaningful adaptation slows down. What to try: Balance open tasks with periods of focused repetition. Simplify instructions—set the environment, then observe. Know when to back off and give space for consolidation. Not Enough Creativity or Novelty – [6:00] Without moments of surprise or exploration, athletes stop learning. Creativity sparks engagement—and often, better movement solutions. What to try: Add odd objects, uneven surfaces, or unconventional constraints. Give athletes freedom within drills to explore variations. Don't aim for perfect reps—aim for meaningful reps. Lack of a Clear Plan – [7:36] Randomness without progression can feel chaotic. Athletes need to see where training is going—even if it's nonlinear. What to try: Cycle phases between creative exposure and focused refinement. Revisit key themes and skills, even in exploratory training. Share your intent—clarity builds trust. Too Much Weightlifting – [10:20] Lifting can become a crutch when it overshadows movement quality or reduces time for skill and game-speed work. What to try: Trim down barbell volume in favor of transfer-driven tasks. Use loaded movements that keep athletes grounded and aware. Ask: Is this lift enhancing or muting athleticism? Not Enough Weightlifting – [12:12] Some environments undervalue lifting altogether, leading to gaps in tissue tolerance and general strength. What to try: Use tempo and iso-based lifts to build coordination and robustness. Make lifting complementary, not competitive, with field work. Keep it simple—progressive resistance is still powerful when done well. Monotony from Failing to Wave Training Loads – [13:44]

In this intensely eye-opening episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom launches a deep dive into the alarming patterns of national economic failure, using the infamous collapse of Argentina in 2001 as his starting point. With the precision of an investigative storyteller, Tom brings you face-to-face with the stark reality behind global financial crises—not as distant tragedies but as urgent, mathematical inevitabilities now encroaching on the United States. Drawing on the research and insights of Ray Dalio, the legendary hedge fund manager, Tom unpacks "The Big Debt Cycle," explaining in clear terms the six phases every collapsing nation inevitably traverses. For those searching for solutions, Tom presents Ray Dalio's concept of "beautiful deleveraging" as a rare, hopeful path. He walks through the gritty details of what it takes to bring a runaway debt-strangled nation back from the brink—explaining the painful, necessary balance between austerity, debt restructuring, redistribution, and well-calibrated money creation. Using historical case studies, modern economic policy debates, and concrete steps, Tom explores how America can navigate this perilous moment—and why collective literacy and moral discipline are the keys to building a sustainable future.
