Latest / The National Debt Podcast with Fexingo: Treasury, Borrowing, and Long-Term Fiscal Outlook
How Fiscal Dominance Changes Your Paycheck
We are looking at the intersection of fiscal policy and personal finance in a way that most headlines miss. The federal debt has climbed past thirty-nine trillion dollars, pushing the interest rate on ten-year Treasuries near five percent. This creates a feedback loop where government borrowing costs crowd out private investment and influence mortgage rates directly. We explore how this dynamic reshapes consumer purchasing power and why the era of cheap money is structurally ending.
