Podcasts about national debt

PREVIEW: Elizabeth Peek suggests that tariffs implemented in 2025 may have successfully generated revenue to address the national debt without significantly raising prices. While she expresses reservations about distributing this revenue directly to Americans, she believes the strategy could encourage domestic manufacturing and exports, ultimately proving effective.

Send us a textIntroduction: In the latest episode of Clarity from Chaos, host Dave Campbell engages in a thought-provoking discussion with John Tamny, the author of "Deficit Delusion: Why Everything Left, Right, and Supply Side Tells You About the National Debt is Wrong." The conversation delves into the complexities of the national debt, the role of government programs, and the misconceptions surrounding economic downturns. Main Content:1. The Rise of the Democrat Socialists: Dave Campbell opens the podcast by highlighting the alarming rise of Democrat socialists in the United States, discussing their impact on public discourse and policy. He argues that a spiritual conflict is at play, emphasizing the need for leaders who adhere to a higher authority.2. Introduction of John Tamny: The episode features John Tamny, a political editor at Forbes, who shares insights from his book. Tamny argues against the common narrative surrounding the national debt, challenging the way we perceive programs like Medicare and Social Security.3. The Debt Debate: Campbell questions the focus on the national debt, pointing out the staggering unfunded liabilities of Medicare and Social Security. Tamny responds by suggesting that rather than reforming these programs, which he views as disastrous, we should allow them to exist as a barrier against the introduction of new, potentially more harmful programs.4. The Metastasis of Government Programs: Tamny describes Medicare's evolution from a $3 billion program to a $1 trillion one, illustrating how government programs grow over time. He argues that reforming these existing programs would only provide Congress with the opportunity to create new ones, thus exacerbating the problem.5. Economic Corrections: The conversation shifts to the potential for economic corrections, with Campbell referencing Andrew Sorkin's comparison of contemporary economic conditions to those of 1929. Tamny critiques this perspective, arguing that market corrections are essential for economic health and that government intervention often worsens crises.6. The Role of the Federal Reserve: Tamny discusses the Federal Reserve's influence on the economy, asserting that the Fed's power is overstated. He illustrates this by referencing the 2008 financial crisis, attributing it to government intervention rather than market forces. He emphasizes that crises are often a result of political action rather than economic reality.Conclusion: The episode concludes with key takeaways on the misconceptions surrounding national debt and the role of government in economic affairs. Tamny's insights encourage listeners to rethink their understanding of economic policies and the importance of market corrections. Key Takeaways:- The national debt narrative often overlooks significant unfunded liabilities.- Existing programs like Medicare and Social Security may serve as barriers against the growth of new government initiatives.- Market corrections are a natural response to economic conditions and should not be feared.- Government intervention can exacerbate economic downturns raSupport the show"Wherever you find yourself is exactly and precisely where God wills you to be" Support our show at the following: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2063276/support Follow us on X: @CFC30290 Follow us on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3123766 Website: https://clarityfromchaospodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Website: https://clarityfromchaos.substack.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFk-DsClSJ6m0GDmAcA7AAg Thanks for listening to Clarity from Chaos

In this powerful episode of the MX3 Podcast, we dive into the longest government shutdown in U.S. history — exploring how 45 years of political division, ballooning national debt, and endless blame games have shaped the American economy and public trust. We break down shutdown statistics from Carter to Biden, uncover which presidents avoided the gridlock, and discuss what it really takes for 535 people in Congress to serve 350 million Americans. This one hits deep — frustration, honesty, and a call for accountability.

As the U.S. economy buckles under the weight of unprecedented spending, Tara breaks down how reckless fiscal policy, runaway printing, and political infighting have driven the average homebuyer's age to 59. From the proposed 50-year mortgage to Elon Musk's warnings about national debt, Tara exposes the ripple effects on young Americans, the housing market, and the job economy. Plus, she tackles Trump's missteps—from H-1B visa policies to a shocking White House meeting that left veterans outraged. A raw, unfiltered look at the cost of ignoring fiscal reality. When Washington spends, America pays the price. Tara takes listeners deep into the economic fallout of unchecked government spending and the “big beautiful bill” that promised prosperity but delivered pain. With young Americans priced out of homeownership and the average homebuyer nearing retirement, she highlights how federal overspending has consumed the real estate industry. Tara examines Trump's failure to push through spending cuts, the visa policies undercutting American engineers, and the ripple effects now hitting the job market. The episode culminates in a powerful critique of recent White House optics involving an Al Qaeda-linked figure, emphasizing the disconnect between political ambitions and national priorities. Tara calls for a refocus on America first — fiscal sanity, accountability, and leadership that remembers who pays the bill.

Trump To Repay National Debt By Giving Everyone $2,000! (gold & silver rally most likely unrelated:) On one hand, we've all learned to take anything a politician says with a grain of salt.

Today's guest is Joe Davis, Vanguard's Global Chief Economist and Global Head of Vanguard's Investment Strategy Group. His latest research on megatrends is covered in his book, Coming Into View: How AI and Other Megatrends Will Shape Your Investments. In today's episode, Joe explains why the coming decade for the U.S. economy will be shaped by a tug-of-war between AI and demographics-driven deficits. While the most likely outcome is optimistic (the benefits of AI offset demographic pressures), the next most likely outcome is pessimistic (AI fails to meet our expectations and growth tumbles, putting pressure on the government's balance sheet). Joe emphasizes the need for investors to prepare for non-consensus outcomes and embrace diversification to navigate this uncertain future.  Listen to Joe's first appearance on the show in February 2020.

A fast-paced Friday briefing that jumps from Washington's surprising budget numbers to the geopolitics of a risky hostage swap. Tara breaks down the Treasury's eye-popping September surplus and why tariffs and economic growth matter — then pivots to an urgent critique of the deal that released thousands of jailed Hamas fighters in exchange for a handful of hostages. Mixing history (the founders' view on tariffs), policy skepticism, and on-the-ground outrage, this episode asks: did we trade security for optics — and what happens next? Money in the coffers, terror on the streets — when wins on paper collide with real-world risk.

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

Addressing Bond Market Turmoil Brett Arends explains that the troubled bond market stems from unsustainable national debt and recent court rulings questioning President Trump's tariffs. He advises Donald Trump to support Federal Reserve independence, abandon attacks on Jerome Powell and Lisa Cook, and work with Congress on tariffs to ensure fiscal sustainability and calm market anxieties. Arends notes that gold's all-time high reflects a lack of market confidence. PEKING UNIVERSITY

John Batchelor 09-03 segment 9.mp3 Guest: Brett Arends of Market Watch (Return on Investment). Bond Market Anxiety and Federal Reserve Pressures Brett Arends explains the bond market's current unhappiness stems from unsustainable national debt and uncertainty surrounding President Trump's tariffs. He clarifies that the Fedcontrols short-term rates, while the bond market sets long-term rates. Arends warns that Trump's pressure on the Fed to cut short-term rates could paradoxically cause long-term rates, including mortgage rates, to rise, hurting the economy and exacerbating market nervousness.
