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. The ‘pulses' of two totally separate activities, golf and investing, have been so synchronized and connected, not just in modern times, but throughout history, and in a manner not found in any other sport?      Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” was just signed into law - and it's going to have a real impact on your business and your taxes. In this episode, I'm walking you through what's actually in the bill, clearing up common misconceptions I've seen online, and sharing the changes you need to know as a business owner.We'll talk about updated rules around bonus depreciation, the standard deduction, tax credits on tips, and child-related tax incentives - plus what's going away (hint: EV tax credits). I'm also pulling back the curtain on what this bill signals about the national debt and why I believe long-term tax planning is more important now than ever.

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.

It's Sunday and I'm wrapping up the week by summarizing this week's theme: America's $36 Trillion Tab - Understanding how The U.S. National Debt Impacts You Everyone's favorite topic - the crushing US national debt - yay!  In case you missed any episodes this week, here's the recap

Bernie Sanders took Dana Bash's loaded question about Medicaid and Medicare and flipped it to illustrate the need for Medicare for All.Subscribe to our Newsletter:https://politicsdoneright.com/newsletterPurchase our Books: As I See It: https://amzn.to/3XpvW5o How To Make AmericaUtopia: https://amzn.to/3VKVFnG It's Worth It: https://amzn.to/3VFByXP Lose Weight And BeFit Now: https://amzn.to/3xiQK3K Tribulations of anAfro-Latino Caribbean man: https://amzn.to/4c09rbE

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, I'm talking about America's $36 Trillion Tab on the national debt and what that means for you.  Today, I'm talking about the ugly tradeoffs for reducing the national debt and how each of those options, and likely some combination of all 3 could impact you.

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, I'm talking about America's $36 Trillion Tab on the national debt and how it impacts you - what does that mean for your social security & medicare benefits, inflation, taxes, the value of your investments, etc. The unfortunate truth is that the growing debt problem potentially has a big impact on all of these aspects of your life.  Before we go any further, we first need to clarify what the US National Debt is…

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I'm your host, Ashley Micciche. I'm a financial advisor and co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory practice managing over $425M in assets.  For 17 years, I've helped clients retire with confidence, and my goal on this podcast is to simplify the complexities of retirement planning so you can focus on what truly matters—enjoying your retirement years while maintaining financial security. I remember having concerns about the US national debt and having conversations with clients about this back in 2011. That's what I'll talk about this week. Because the US national debt isn't like you or I having debt. It's quite different. If we don't have enough income to pay our debts like the US government, then we don't have money trees. The US government has their own personal money tree, and that can work, up to a point.

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.

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 –

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.”
