The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick present episode 455 of the In The Tank Podcast. The national debt is currently closing in on $35 trillion. Even more alarming, the cost of maintaining that debt is approaching $1 trillion annually - this is just the interest payment on the debt! Is this sustainable? Also, how long will the dollar remain the king currency when we pursue such reckless monetary and fiscal policy?
