Podcasts about national debt

What is credit, really? It's usually... debt. This is why Dave Ramsey teaches and preaches the way he does- saying don't use credit cards. It's because most of us need guard rails against going into debt and getting into trouble. Our society is being taught to borrow for everything- your furniture, your cell phone, and now, even your groceries with Buy Now Pay Later Loans.I am going to throw a lot of info at you on this one, but take in the debt numbers and realize that as a country, we are in trouble- and I am not even talking about the $37 Trillion in National Debt. I am talking about that sizable household debt- even aside from mortgage loans- that are suffocating and burying us with debt payments. It's causing anxiety, frustration, friction and even health problems.Questions@creditkristi.com

This Flashback Friday is from episode 351, published last December 4, 2013.  Kevin Armstrong is the former Chairman of the ANZ Group's Regional Investment Committee and former chief investment officer for ANZ Group's private bank. He's the author of, "BULLS, BIRDIES, BOGEYS & BEARS: The Remarkable & Revealing Relationship Between Golf & Investment Markets." Armstrong explains how the rises and falls in the fortunes of professional golfers, and the emergence and decline of major stars such as Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, reflected the ebb and flow of the stock market.  The answer provides a unique and powerful connection between golf and investment markets.

Right now our public debt is about 97% of our GDP. The last time we had a ratio that high was around World War II. A key number that economists are focused on right now is how much interest the U.S. Government is paying to manage the national debt. Right now, we're paying almost $1 trillion dollars per year in interest. That is more than we spend on the military budget and almost as much as we spend on healthcare, including Medicare and Medicaid, every year. So, in order to get an overview of how the U.S. national debt works, how the government borrows money to service the debt or even pay it back, how we've found ourselves in a place with such a high debt to GDPT ratio, and how concerned we all should be, we talk with the author of a recent piece in The Journalist's Resource titled “The national debt: How and why the US government borrows money.”

There's an economic fantasy you sometimes hear in D.C. It often gets trotted out when politicians are trying to add billions or trillions to the national debt. They claim that all the new spending will be worth it in the end because we will supercharge economic growth. This fantasy recurs again and again, because economic growth is a potent force. Over the next few decades, tiny changes in how fast our economy grows could decide the fate of the federal government — whether we can bring the massive national debt under control or whether we spiral into a fiscal crisis. Today on the show, we talk to three economists who have been sifting through the latest evidence. They're trying to figure out what the government could actually do to make the economy grow faster. Could we even grow fast enough to outrun our national debt?

Six Senators say they may not support the Big Beautiful Bill, which has met opposition by some of President Trump's longtime supporters over the addition of $5 trillion or possibly more  to the national debt celling and the increases in spending. Corsi Nation looks at both sides of the argument and whether this year's spending is necessary to improve the nation's financial situation in the coming years, it the spending should be slashed or if there could be a reasonable compromise. .Visit The Corsi Nation website: https://www.corsination.comIf you like what we are doing, please support our Sponsors:Get RX Meds Now: https://www.getrxmedsnow.comMyVitalC https://www.thetruthcentral.com/myvitalc-ess60-in-organic-olive-oil/Swiss America: https://www.swissamerica.com/offer/CorsiRMP.phpGet Dr. Corsi's new book, The Assassination of President John F.

Donald Trump is the first U.S. President in over 30 years who is seriously talking about reducing the country's budget deficit, trade deficit and yes, the national debt, which has ballooned to over $37 trillion.    However, he must follow a specific formula, otherwise, it will end in tragedy, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”     “Jermone Powell, the head of the Fed, will not lower interest rates even though there's been a good jobs report, a good inflation report, a good corporate profits report. GDP is gonna be evaluated, apparently, upward and there's been low energy cost. That mortgage is still 4.25% Fed rate to 4.5%. And that means mortgages are still 6.5%, 7%. And that housing market is slowing as a result.   “So, you've got to get that down. And the way Trump has to do it is just two ways: Either cut the budget or raise taxes—which will strangle the economy—or continue the tax cuts. And hope two things: that the tax cuts—the extension—will prime the economy, along with cheap interest rates.   And the question that we all have now: Is cutting taxes on tips, is cutting taxes on Social Security, is cutting taxes on first responder, etc.—all of which Trump has mentioned—is that really stimulus as opposed to, say, accelerated depreciation investment for businesses? I don't know the answer. But I do know, as a historian, that if you do not cut the deficit and the national debt and you have bond raters like Moody's or the Fed that will not lower interest rates, you're going to be in a crisis.”
