    Is America's Financial Flu Fatal? Guest Douglas Holtz-Eakin (PhD)
    Nov 3 2025
    In this conversation, Douglas Holtz-Eakin discusses the pressing issues surrounding America's national debt and fiscal health. He explores the implications of government shutdowns, the role of deficits in economic growth, and the structural challenges posed by entitlement programs. Holtz-Eakin emphasizes the need for political leadership to address these issues and the importance of long-term thinking in economic policy. He also touches on the Federal Reserve's independence, the impact of tariffs, and the future of social security, providing insights into how these factors intertwine with national security and global economic dynamics takeaways America's national debt is a significant concern that has been growing for decades. Government shutdowns have minimal economic impact but highlight political dysfunction. Deficits can hinder economic growth and limit opportunities for future generations. Entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare contribute to structural deficits. Political leadership has failed to address the looming fiscal crisis effectively. The future of Social Security is uncertain, with potential cuts looming in the next seven years. AI may improve productivity, but it won't solve fiscal issues overnight. Sovereign wealth funds are not a viable solution for the U.S. due to a lack of surplus. Tariffs raise revenue but can harm economic growth and are a regressive tax. Supply chain resilience is crucial for national security and economic stability.
