On The Podcast: In this episode, we sit down with Dr. John T. Harvey to unpack Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and the sustainability of the U.S. government’s $37 trillion debt. Dr. Harvey makes the bold claim that the U.S. cannot be forced to default—because it issues and controls its own currency.

The conversation goes beyond the headlines, exploring:

• The real implications of government spending
• How politics shapes economic narratives
• The role of wealth concentration in policy debates
• Why deficits may not be as dangerous as they sound

This episode challenges conventional wisdom about national debt, arguing that the true focus should be on resource allocation and economic priorities—not just big numbers.
