Our Addiction To Deficit Spending Is The Greatest Threat To Our Future Prosperity | Lyn Alden

LOCK IN THE EARLY BIRD PRICE DISCOUNT FOR THE THOUGHTFUL MONEY FALL CONFERENCE AT https://thoughtfulmoney.com/conference Today's guest has long been warning that the US -- as well as many other countries -- is now in an era of fiscal dominance. That's when fiscal spending gets out of control, like a runaway train. It becomes so large that it becomes the primary determinant of economic growth and inflation -- steamrolling over any impact of monetary policy or private sector lending. At this time of this recording, the deficit for the 2025 US fiscal year is on track to be the 3rd largest in history, behind the COVID emergency spending years of 2020 and 2021. The key difference , of course, is this time we're not facing a global pandemic and economic lockdown. Yet the profligate deficit spending continues unabated. What impact is this having on the economy, asset prices, our currency's purchasing power, and social stability? For answers, we are very fortunate to welcome back to the program Lyn Alden, investment strategist & author of the book "Broken Money: Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better" Follow Lyn at her website at https://www.lynalden.com/ Or on X at @LynAldenContact #deficit #money #inflation 0:00 - Lyn’s Book Broken Money: Two-Year Anniversary Reflections 2:56 - How Have Things Unfolded Since Broken Money?
