America stands at a financial crossroads, grappling with an unprecedented debt of $36 trillion. In our latest episode, we dive deep into the complexities of this crisis—unpacking the implications of fiscal irresponsibility, and the historical voices urging caution. We welcome insights from renowned author Jerry Newcombe, who expertly contextualizes the current legislative landscape while drawing parallels to the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. Jefferson’s warnings about national debt ring true today, urging us to consider the cost of borrowing from future generations. As we explore recent bipartisan efforts to cut spending by $1 trillion, the need for swift action becomes increasingly clear.

Throughout our engaging conversation, we provide a detailed overview of the recent budget negotiations in Congress, the ideological divides that exist within the Republican Party, and compelling arguments for why these spending cuts matter. We delve into predictions for economic growth and challenge the notion that simply raising the debt ceiling is a responsible solution.

Join us in addressing these pressing questions and engaging with the vital discussions around America’s financial future. Your participation matters! Help us shape a more informed and responsible conversation about our nation's fiscal values.
