Podcasts about national deficit

In this conversation with Greg Olear, Michael Graetz discusses his book “The Power to Destroy: How the Anti-Tax Movement Hijacked America”' He explores the history and influence of the anti-tax movement, the role of race and xenophobia in shaping it, and the ideological and moral arguments behind it. Graetz also delves into the consequences of irresponsible tax cuts, the significance of taxation in American history, and the challenges of dealing with a GOP that obstructs. He highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of taxation and the importance of addressing the growing national debt. Finally, they discuss the conservative shift of the Court, the corrupting power of money in politics, and the challenges facing American democracy.

National Debt vs the National Deficit    Kevin explains the difference between the National Debt and the National Deficit and how it relates to the debt ceiling. 

Weekly roundup for July 17, 2021 Democrats are declaring victory over the $3.5 trillion infrastructure deal reached in the Senate under reconciliation. A closer look at the numbers reveals that the current proposal is entirely inadequate, and history proves the federal government is capable of much larger fiscal spending when facing such existential crises. As long as California remains in the federal system -- lacking the power of the purse -- we will be fiscally constrained and unable to fill the void in leadership left by Congress. Meanwhile, new details have emerged about the 2020 election. Mark Milley, the highest ranking US military officer, feared Trump would attempt a coup in the event of an election loss. And two men in California made plans to blow up the Democratic party headquarters in Sacramento in January. Fascism has come to America, and California finds itself in the crosshairs. NOTES: 1.

Welcome to Progressive Opinions of Color (POC), a podcast that seeks to create space for more people of color in politics and economics. With the 2020 presidential election coming up and the state of the economy during COVID-19, it is more important than ever to think about who we include in the conversations about politics and economics. I am Nancy Wu, your host. I’m also an Asian American woman, an economist, and a huge politics and policy nerd. I triple majored in Economics, Government (Political Science) and Gender Studies at Dartmouth and have a Master’s in Development Economics from Oxford. I work as an Economist full time and have previously worked in economic policy at the White House (under Obama, of course) and progressive think tanks. The goal of this podcast is to engage the Asian American community and other POC and BIPOC voices in an industry that is so heavily represented by old white men. The POC Podcast will host conversations on the 2020 Presidential Election, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the coronavirus pandemic, the state of the economy, and other pressing topics in politics, economics, and culture, all through perspectives inclusive of the lived experiences of people of color. Whether you're new to politics or already a huge politics nerd, I hope this podcast inspires community and conversation among us. Join me in reimagining politics and economics with underrepresented voices. The economy is complicated enough. Learn about it through stories from real people.

~~WHY WE NEED A NATIONAL DEFICIT & WHY AUSTERITY IS KILLING GREECE~~ Dylan Moore and Nima Mahjour discuss why modern nations need national decifits through the lens of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), and what function it performs in society. Many find MMT confusing due to its usage of words like "debt", "deficit", "deficit", "budget", and "surplus". It turns out these words to normal people have completely opposite meanings to the federal government. Confused? This excellent starting point to dispel some of your confusion. Nima breaks down specific examples in history, explaining how hyperinflation in nations is always always due to political factors, not economic ones. He analyzes the Weimar Republic, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and Greece. We also discuss the political-economic situation of the Eurozone, and some of the reasons why the euro has been such a disaster. Specifically, we look at why the euro has crippled economies like Greece and bolstered economies like Germany. You can check out more of Nima's work at beinglibertarian.com and economicsjunkie.com.
