How Government Debt Crowds Out Your Retirement Savings

The Fiscal Policy Podcast with Fexingo: Government Budgets, Stimulus, and Public Spending · Sep 17, 2026 · 10m · transcript

In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine the indirect tax on private capital caused by sovereign borrowing. We look at how municipal bond yields compete with corporate debt, using a specific case study of a mid-sized city’s infrastructure project to show how public borrowing drives up the cost of capital for small businesses. We discuss the concept of crowding out, why it matters for your personal investment portfolio, and what investors can do to hedge against rising interest rate environments driven by fiscal policy.
