The Real Money Pros

$5 Trillion More? Debt, Taxes, and the ‘Big, Beautiful’ Bill (6/16/2025)


Listen Later

Brian takes listeners deep into the heart of Washington’s latest fiscal chaos. With a $5 trillion proposed increase to the national debt ceiling and heated debate over lowering the SALT deduction cap from $40,000 to $10,000, Brian calls out the partisan maneuvering and asks the real question: is any of this actually conservative?

From a live look at the U.S. debt clock to a breakdown of how tariffs, tax credits, and backdoor tax hikes affect everyday Americans, this episode is part financial analysis, part political reality check. Brian explains how deficit spending, political gamesmanship, and misguided tax policy hit taxpayers from every angle—especially those nearing retirement or trying to build wealth in uncertain markets.

He also shares where he sees real investment opportunity right now and why this may be the best market of his 25-year career—for those who know how to read it.
