The podcast delves into the recent passage of a Republican-backed domestic policy bill in the Senate, which relies on unconventional budgeting tactics to justify long-term tax cuts without violating deficit rules.

Experts warn that this approach may normalize risky accounting practices across both parties, while global investors grow wary of the growing U.S. debt burden. There are fears that increasing reliance on new debt to service old obligations could lead to a self-reinforcing cycle of borrowing, higher interest costs, and reduced economic resilience during future downturns.
