Don’t Panic Over $40 Trillion. Don’t Ignore It Either
How much national debt is too much? The “Henssler Money Talks” hosts start with a listener question inspired by a 1970s economics lesson, comparing the nation’s debt to the size of the economy and discussing what could signal that the debt burden is becoming harder to sustain. We also examine the bond market’s role in keeping government borrowing in check and what could eventually threaten the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s dominant reserve currency.
