The U.S. national debt just crossed $36 trillion — but what does that actually mean? In this episode of The Lonely Liberal, we dig into how we got here, who and what is really driving the debt, and whether it's the crisis some politicians make it out to be.
From trillion-dollar interest payments to pandemic spending, tax cuts, and entitlement programs, we break down the numbers, the myths, and the politics. Is investor confidence cracking? Could rising debt limit future government action? And how do other countries — like Japan — manage even bigger debt loads?
Whether you're debt-pilled or debt-skeptical, this episode gives you the facts, the context, and the insight to understand one of the biggest (and most misunderstood) issues in American politics.
Join us for a bonus lunchtime rant about the newly released GOP spending bill, dubbed "The Big, Beautiful Bill."
Don't worry, normal episode still planned for tomorrow as usual.
From presidential interviews to absurd policy proposals, Rick and I go through this week's headlines:
