With U.S. debt surpassing $36 trillion and a debt-to-GDP ratio at 120%, Adam Taggart, host of Thoughtful Money, breaks down the alarming implications for the economy and investors. In this in-depth conversation, Taggart examines the growing divide between Wall Street and Main Street, inflation’s impact on purchasing power, and the challenges of navigating an overvalued market driven by narrative and exuberance.

Taggart also delves into the Federal Reserve’s unusual rate-cut strategy amidst record debt, Trump’s pro-growth policies, and what it will take to transition to a stronger economy. From the rise of gold and Bitcoin to the debate over fiat currency, sound money, and central bank digital currencies, this is a must-watch for anyone seeking clarity in a confusing economic landscape. Don’t miss it!
