Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States, discusses government overreach, the national debt, and whether Washington can still be reformed through the Constitution. http://ConventionofStates.com

EPISODE DESCRIPTION A shocking new figure buried inside a weekend report is fueling outrage nationwide: investigators now estimate that at least $3 trillion in taxpayer money may have been improperly paid out through government programs since 2003 — and officials believe the real number could be even higher. This episode dives into claims from the Trump administration and supporters of JD Vance that decades of weak oversight, expanded COVID-era policies, and failures at the state level opened the door to massive fraud in welfare and Medicare programs. The discussion explores how anti-fraud technology used by banks and companies like eBay and Amazon could potentially transform government systems, why some states are resisting oversight efforts, and what the findings could mean for taxpayers moving forward. The conversation also examines political backlash surrounding fraud investigations, welfare reform debates, and growing concerns over the long-term impact on the national debt.

The discussion breaks down: Anti-fraud investigations tied to the Trump administration Claims from JD Vance regarding benefit abuse COVID-era policy changes that loosened oversight Why banks and private companies use fraud systems the government still lacks Concerns over illegal benefit claims and state-level enforcement The political fight surrounding audits and government accountability The episode also explores how fraud prevention technology could potentially reshape federal spending and whether these discoveries could impact the future debate over the national debt.

New Zealand's debt is exploding… but is it actually a problem?With Budget 2026 around the corner, we break down New Zealand's $182 billion debt position, whether the country should be worried about rising interest costs, how our debt compares globally, and why borrowing isn't always a bad thing. James and Mike debate whether the Government is too focused on cutting costs instead of growing the economy, the risks around productivity and public sector cuts, and whether debt used for infrastructure, healthcare, and long-term growth could actually make New Zealand wealthier over time.For more money tips follow us on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The content in this podcast is the opinion of the hosts.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4d5naRq David Bahnsen discusses U.S. national debt after total federal public debt surpassed 100% of GDP, defining it as $31.27T in Treasury securities versus $31.22T GDP, distinct from state/local debt, intergovernmental debt, and unfunded liabilities. He explains who holds Treasurys (foreign holders, the Fed, U.S. households, and banks/pensions/insurers) and why Treasurys serve as the global risk-free rate, rooted in confidence in repayment supported by U.S. economic strength and taxing authority. Bahnsen argues the key problem is persistent deficits (~6% of GDP) growing faster than the economy, projecting debt near $50T by 2040, driven mainly by entitlement spending rather than military, fraud, or insufficient taxation. He says growth is necessary but not sufficient, warning reforms will involve pain, and closes by advocating diversified, valuation-conscious dividend growth investing as an attractive risk/reward approach. 00:00 Why Debt Matters 02:43 Crossing 100 Percent 03:43 Debt Definitions 06:14 Who Owns Treasuries 08:42 Why Treasuries Work 14:14 What 100 Percent Means 17:38 Deficits Keep Growing 20:09 What Caused It 27:08 Hard Choices Ahead 29:13 Investor Takeaways 32:47 Dividend Growth Close 33:20 Thanks And Wrap Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

What does it mean to retire in 2026, and how does today's retirement landscape differ from 10 or 20 years ago? With more retirees facing challenges such as rising healthcare costs, higher cost of living, concerns about Social Security, shifting demographics, and the impacts of national debt, this episode digs into the current risks and opportunities for those planning their golden years. I share insights from a recent Goldman Sachs retirement study and answer listener questions on retirement planning software, investment strategy before retirement, handling 401(k) and IRA loans, and Social Security rules for working retirees.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Retirement planning in 2026 [06:28] Current market conditions and challenges [10:31] Rising health insurance costs [14:24] Financial strain on parents supporting kids [18:48] Concerns about retirement taxes [23:21] Preparing for financial downturns [28:20] Understanding 401 (k) and IRA loans [32:35] Social Security benefits and retirement planning [37:23] Understanding annuities and IRA conversions Inflation and the Cost of Living One of the biggest concerns voiced by pre-retirees is how much more expensive life has become. The past decade, especially following COVID-19, has seen inflation spike well above its historical average. Not only are day-to-day essentials like groceries and gas more costly, but so too are the experiences retirees often look forward to—such as travel and dining out. With airline tickets and fuel prices high, the cost of enjoying retirement can quickly outpace what many planned for just a few years ago.   Healthcare: An Ever-Increasing Expense Another major pain point is the skyrocketing cost of healthcare. Medicare premiums have jumped (with Medicare Part B premiums alone increasing by over 9% in one year recently), and pre-Medicare retirees face especially steep coverage costs. Whether paying directly, dealing with COBRA, or navigating the healthcare exchange, retirees must factor in the rising cost of both routine and unpredictable medical needs, which eat into savings at a faster rate.   Social Security and Family Support With millions of Baby Boomers now collecting benefits and the youngest Boomers becoming eligible, there is increased pressure on the system. There are some very real concerns about funding gaps and the likelihood that Congress will have to make difficult decisions soon to ensure benefits remain viable for future generations. Retirement planning is now more deeply intertwined with broader demographic changes. People are waiting longer to marry, buy homes, and start families—all of which impact when and how retirees are called upon to support children and grandchildren. Whether contributing to down payments, funding weddings, or assisting with fertility treatments and adoptions, modern retirees often find their savings supporting family milestones happening later in life.   National Debt and Tax Policy Government debt is at record highs, surpassing $39 trillion, and this raises serious questions about future tax rates. Retirees must plan for the possibility that taxes will increase, which could impact how much of their savings they'll have available for spending. Retirement in 2026 and beyond is both promising (with record numbers of millionaires) and uniquely challenging. By understanding these new realities, today's retirees can build a plan that provides peace of mind and the freedom to enjoy life's next chapter.    Resources & People Mentioned 3 Steps to Retirement Planning Goldman Sachs Retirement and Insights Survey   Connect With Gregg Gonzalez Email at: Gregg.gonzalez@lpl.com Podcast: https://RetireStrongFA.com/Podcast Website: https://RetireStrongFA.com/ Follow Gregg on LinkedIn Follow Gregg on Facebook Follow Gregg on YouTube Subscribe to Retirement Made Easy On Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts

On this episode of The Two Mikes, Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike are joined by Professor Murray Sabrin of the Mises Institute to expose how America's exploding national debt, corrupt congressional priorities, Federal Reserve money-printing, and decades of government economic intervention have sabotaged the free market and crushed working Americans. Sabrin argues that real prosperity begins when Washington stops manipulating prices, ends its addiction to debt, and lets supply, demand, and economic reality replace the failed interventionist schemes that have dominated U.S. policy since the New Deal.SPONSOR My Gold Guy - https://mygoldguy.com/twomikeshttps://twomikes.us

This week on TrendsTalk, ITR Economist and Speaker Taylor St. Germain revisits the long-term 2030 economic outlook and explains why rising national debt remains one of the biggest risks facing the US economy. With debt levels climbing, interest payments surging, and demographic pressures building, what does this mean for businesses trying to plan ahead? Taylor breaks down the key drivers behind ITR Economics' 2030 forecast, including transfer payments, debt-to-GDP concerns, and the economic impact of an aging population. Most importantly, he shares why business leaders should start preparing now rather than waiting for warning signs later.

Veronique de Rugy critiques government-matched savings plans like the "Trump IRA." She argues these technocratic fixes add to the national debt without addressing core tax code flaws. She highlights how high penalties for early withdrawals and payroll taxes effectively discourage lower-income workers from saving for the future. (13/16)1935 NUREMBERG

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the soaring inflation and debt in the United States as we see history made with the national debt breaking above the GDP for the first time since World War 2. It's fitting that this pairs with the escalation of the Iran War. While claims online say that the national debt at $39 trillion is now "100% of GDP," the truth based on mainstream metrics is actually closer to 123%. When numbers are viewed by the pre-1980s calculations, it's actually far worse than even that. Another headline we're hearing a lot is that food prices have surged 50% in the past 5 years. The truth is FAR worse when considering hedonic adjustments which Mark explains in this video. As people suffer in poverty and the supply chain continues to worsen with the Strait of Hormuz calamity, President Donald Trump claims there is no affordability crisis (much like Biden had incorrectly claimed during his tenure), going so far as to attack his own base over it saying, affordability is "one good line of bs." Remember the "I did that" Biden stickers people put on gas pumps a few years ago? They were correct. Now, Trump who claimed he would cut spending with DOGE (which he didn't in the wide scheme) and would oppose war (which he hasn't at a historic level) scoffs at anyone who claims the economy is bad (which it is). He's essentially telling people that they don't know what they're talking about when they go to the grocery store and see massively high prices. "Short term pain for the long term gain" is the adlibbed claim among establishment Republicans. We heard that under Obama and we heard that under Bush. It's simply an attempt to get people sitting on their hands, docile. In this video, Mark goes into the nuance of the inflation issue, the truth inflation numbers, the true debt to GDP and the introduction of the new digital system meant to replace the currently failing FIAT system.

The U.S. economy grew at a solid 2% annual rate in the first quarter of 2026. So why is Taxpayers for Common Sense sounding the alarm? Because at the same moment, the national debt held by the public crossed 100% of GDP — a threshold once considered unthinkable. TCS President Steve Ellis and Director of Research and Policy Josh Sewell break down why good economic news and a historic debt milestone aren't reassuring — they're a warning. If we're running a $1.9 trillion deficit when times are good, what happens when they're not? Steve and Josh examine the structural drivers behind the debt, the systematic dismantling of every fiscal guardrail Congress has ever built, the misuse of budget reconciliation, and why Washington's political class — in both parties — keeps finding new ways to avoid the hardest decisions. This isn't a partisan story. It's an arithmetic one. 

The U.S. national debt has surpassed $39 trillion, raising new concerns about government spending and long-term economic stability. This episode breaks down what's driving the increase and what it could mean for the future.

Along the way, we break down emerging risks and opportunities, from private credit exposure and national debt concerns to IPO dynamics and structural market changes.

Anger, Taming The Beast Within “Anger is not a flaw of the spirit but a flare from the soul, signaling where healing waits to begin.” — Gary Null, PhD   $21 Trillion Dollars Is Missing From the U.S. Government. That Is $65,000 per Person—As Much as the National Debt!   The Solari Report Jan 01, 2026     What's going on? Where is the money? How could this happen? How much has really gone missing? What would happen if a corporation failed to pass an audit like this? Or a taxpayer?   This means the Fed and their member banks are transacting government money outside the law. So are the corporate contractors that run the payment systems. So are the Wall Street firms who are selling government securities without full disclosure. Would your banks continue to handle your bank account if you behaved like this? Would your investors continue to buy your securities if you behaved like this? Would your accountant be silent? This is the reason that there is such a strong push to change or tear up the U.S. Constitution. This is why members of the establishment say the Constitution is “old,” “outdated!” This is why there is such a push for gun control. Don't buy it! We can use the Constitution to get our money and our government back. It is time to enforce the U.S. Constitution. The Solari Report has been covering the missing money since 2000 when Catherine Austin Fitts began to to warn Americans and global investors about mortgage fraud at the U.S. Department of Housing and Development (HUD), and the engineering of the housing bubble that led to trillions more dollars in bailouts and funds missing from the U.S. government starting in fiscal 1998. missingmoney.solari.com   “[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned by and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations.” ~ Carroll Quigley, 1974  

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.
