Episode 98: Are We Hitting a Wall? Rising Debt, Bond Market Chaos & the Fed's Next Move In this week's episode of Drunk Real Estate, we dive into the growing storm in the debt markets and what it means for real estate investors, the U.S. economy, and interest rates going forward. With U.S. debt exploding past $36 trillion, bond auctions failing, and interest payments projected to hit $1 trillion annually, the crew breaks down what's really happening behind the headlines—and why the Fed may be nearing a breaking point.
