Is there a tipping point when our national debt will start to hurt the economy and our pocketbooks? We spend some time with Robert Pozen from MIT about what his research says and what impacts we could see.

This week, Lee, John, and Isaac discuss a variety of topics such as the constant uncertain tariff situation, the data pointing against the U.S. heading into a recession, and importantly the issue of our nation's debt crisis.  The guys also talk about the generational differences with investing. What will happen to this next generation of investors if and when a crash does happen?   With inflation so low, and the economy doing seemingly well, will the Fed finally cut rates? They are meeting in June, July, and September, and Lee, John, and Isaac all have different opinions on when a cut could take place.   What are your thoughts?

(The Center Square) – Despite the White House's assertions that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will not add to the federal debt or deficit, four independent budget watchdogs agree that debt growth will accelerate and reach over $50 trillion by 2034, if the policy megabill becomes law. As emphasized Friday by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the Budget Lab at Yale predicts $52.3 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office predicts $52.4 trillion, the Tax Foundation predicts $52.8 trillion, and the Penn Wharton Budget Model predicts $56.3 trillion as the national debt number a decade from now.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_ed152061-1ef3-4f3c-906d-dca9690ee42c.html

Again and again, the leading minds of the American founding warned that debt would lead to corruption, war, tyranny - and collapse. Today, that curse is bigger than ever - and it's still growing. In this episode, you'll hear what the founders actually said - warnings we can't afford to ignore any longer. The post National Debt: WEAPON to Destroy Freedom Exposed first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

The media and Democrats have pounced on the recent "feud" between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk over the "Big Beautiful Bill." While there are some negatives and positives to the proposed legislation, Elon Musk had some harsh words about some of its components. The mainstream media could not resist the sensational story of a rift between Musk and Trump, but is it a real disconnect, merely theatrics or somewhere in the middle, leaning toward the kabuki theatre side?

Here are the three big things to know this hour—   Number One— An FBI investigation is zeroing in on 3 separate COVID coverup plots to keep everything secret—and keeping the American people and the world in the dark—   Number Two— The Islamic terrorist from Egypt that set Jewish protestors on fire over the weekend—is facing both state and federal charges including hate crime violations—meaning it was an act of terror—   Number Three— The national debt is still looming – almost 37 trillion dollars and counting – we're still talking about it – about the messed-up priorities of the Democrats who got us here – and the Republicans who need to grow a pair and fix it –

The House officially passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—so today, we're diving into what actually made it into the bill. If you listened to our earlier episode, you know we were taking some educated guesses, but now we've got real answers.  This bill is packed with changes—some extensions, some brand-new provisions—and while it's not law yet (it still needs to clear the Senate), it's already shaping major tax and financial planning conversations. So let's break down what passed and what it could mean for your bottom line.

The national debt recently hit the headlines after Moody's downgraded the U.S. credit rating. But does the national debt really matter? A lot of people think not and most don't seem overly concerned about it. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey argues that they should be worried, and he explains why. He specifically addresses how exploding government debt could impact the markets and urges gold and silver investors not to focus exclusively on the daily tariff news.

President John Mahama says recent gains by the Cedi have helped the country reduce its total debt burden by almost 150 billion Cedis. He says if the trajectory continues, the target of reaching 55 to 58 percent debt sustainability by 2028 will be met by the end of this year

tThe episode covers President Trump venting frustration over Putin and Zelensky, while judicial tyranny blocks deportations and campus reforms, sparking cries of a “judicial coup” from Stephen Miller. The House's “big, beautiful bill” faces Senate pushback from Rand Paul and Ron Johnson, who slam its $4 trillion debt hike, despite Mike Johnson touting historic cuts.

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.”

Who do we actually owe our $36 trillion national debt to? What is the national debt? Why will it never be repaid? In this solo episode, Hans tackles this rarely asked but crucial question as he continues his "Know Your Enemies" series on understanding central banking.Hans explores the counterintuitive reality that the national debt isn't meant to be repaid - it's an accounting system where government debt functions as an asset for dollar holders worldwide. By examining the perspectives of economist Michael Hudson, he reveals the strange mechanics behind modern monetary policy.From the bizarre relationship between the Treasury and Federal Reserve to why interest rates should remain steady despite political pressure, Hans breaks down complex financial concepts to help listeners understand what's happening with America's financial system and its global implications.The Illusion of National Debt: An exploration of the counterintuitive reality that national debt isn't meant to be repaid. Government debt functions as an asset for dollar and treasury holders, creating a system where debt must continue to exist and grow rather than be eliminated.Three Pillars of American Debt: A breakdown of the three main holders of US debt: everyday people with paper currency, foreign central banks with treasury bills, and the Federal Reserve itself. This creates a bizarre accounting situation where part of the government is indebted to another part of itself.Global Dollar Dominance: An examination of how military and financial systems work together to maintain dollar supremacy worldwide. Dollars flowing internationally benefit Americans, even while creating problematic dependencies in the global financial system.Modern Monetary Theory Critique: A presentation of alternative perspectives on debt sustainability, acknowledging theoretical insights while questioning whether this system can continue indefinitely without major problems as interest payments grow.➡️ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction to Know Your Enemies Series01:00 - Trump, Powell, and Interest Rate Debates04:00 - Two Factors: Interest Rates vs. Congressional Spending 08:00 - Why Lowering Interest Rates May Not Work 12:00 - Key Questions About National Debt 14:00 - Government Debt as an Asset for Others 19:00 - The Federal Reserve's Unusual Relationship with Treasury 23:00 - Michael Hudson's Perspective on National Debt 27:00 - Paper Currency as Government Debt 31:00 - How Dollars Circulate Globally 35:00 - Foreign Central Bank Reserves 39:00 - The Dollar Standard Replacing Gold45:00 - The Federal Reserve Holding Treasury Bills 49:00 - Why the Debt Can't Be Repaid 53:00 - Financial Markets vs. Real Economy 57:00 - National Security Risks of Debt⁠Visit https://remnantfinance.com for more informationFOLLOW REMNANT FINANCEYoutube: @RemnantFinance (https://www.youtube.com/@RemnantFinance)Facebook: @remnantfinance (https://www.facebook.com/profile?id=61560694316588)Twitter: @remnantfinance (https://x.com/remnantfinance)TikTok: @RemnantFinance Don't forget to hit LIKE and SUBSCRIBE

Tom Bodrovics introduces Chris Whalen, author of Inflated: Money, Debt, and the American Dream, which has been re-released in a second edition with significant updates. The conversation focuses on the current state of markets, the impact of President Trump's tariff policies, and the challenges posed by the federal debt and inflation. Chris explains that he removed 20,000 words from his original book to make space for a new chapter analyzing the Federal Reserve's management of the money supply under Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, and Jerome Powell. He highlights how the U.S. housing market has become heavily government-supported, leading to increased volatility and rising costs for consumers. Discussing inflation, Chris notes that it is driven by the inability of governments to generate sufficient income to meet their people's needs, as seen in countries like Argentina. He argues that borrowing from future income through debt creates distortions, particularly in housing markets, where prices have surged due to low interest rates and government intervention. He also critiques the dysfunctionality of Congress, which he believes is unable to pass budgets or manage spending effectively. Chris emphasizes the importance of gold as a hedge against inflation and expresses skepticism about stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, calling them speculative vehicles rather than reliable alternatives to fiat currency. He suggests that the U.S. dollar's dominance in global markets contributes to inflationary pressures, as other countries benefit from using dollars without bearing the associated costs. The discussion concludes with Chris offering an optimistic outlook, noting that while challenges remain, opportunities exist for investors to navigate inflation through real estate and gold. He encourages listeners to manage investments with a long-term perspective, considering the erosive effects of even low levels of inflation over time.

Norman discusses his decision to co-sign a pivotal letter to Speaker Mike Johnson urging Republicans to enshrine the Trump agenda into law, criticizing weak GOP leadership, runaway spending, and judicial overreach.

On Friday, President Trump proposed his fiscal year 2026 skinny budget plan, which calls for spending reductions across the U.S. government. It proposes reducing non-defense discretionary spending to combat the national debt crisis. Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX) joins the Rundown to discuss the need to address the growing national debt and unsustainable deficit spending. The Congressman outlines key ideas to guide the reconciliation process, including a top-to-bottom audit, removing waste, fraud, and abuse, and reforming entitlement programs. Most Americans are paying digitally these days; that includes credit cards, tap-to-pay digital wallets, and even cryptocurrency. Cash payments seem to be going the way of the past, yet a cashless society isn't without its consequences, says Boston University Questrom School of Business Professor Jay Zagorksky. Zagorsky has studied the various consequences the disappearance of cash will have on society in his book, “The Power of Cash.” He joins the podcast to explain why America loves cashless payments, the various ways using cash benefits each of us, and his case for keeping physical dollars and coins in circulation.
