$40 TRILLION: Debt Interest Now Beats Defense Spending
Episode notes
The national debt just crossed $40 TRILLION, per the Treasury Department's own daily report, and the interest alone now costs America more than national defense. More than Medicare. Chuck breaks down how we added two trillion dollars in about ten months, what the Peter G. Peterson Foundation says comes next, and why you are already paying for this at your own kitchen table.
Also in today's episode: President Trump declares ECONOMIC D-DAY on Iran and puts every country on the planet on notice. A non-citizen in Massachusetts allegedly voted in his landlord's name, then reported HIM to Homeland Security for it. Alexander Vindman outspent his opponent 16 to 1 in Florida and got routed anyway. A federal appeals court just voided South Carolina's absentee age rule, and the state's two remaining options will surprise you. China's new humanoid robot claims it can outrun Usain Bolt. And Trump sits down with Michael Cohen. Yes, that Michael Cohen.
