Lucas and Luna break down how the U.S. national debt has surged past 38.5 trillion dollars, with a specific focus on the $450 annual energy cost hit to households from the Iran conflict. They examine why war-related spending is compounding the deficit faster than expected, and what the widening yield spread means for long-term borrowing costs. With the 30-year Treasury yield hovering near 5 percent, the hosts ask whether fiscal discipline is possible amid geopolitical shocks. A data-driven conversation on debt, deficits, and the hidden price of conflict. #NationalDebt #FederalDeficit #IranWarCosts #TreasuryYields #EnergyInflation #FiscalPolicy #GeopoliticalRisk #DebtToGDP #30YearYield #FederalBorrowing #InterestCosts #ConsumerImpact #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #LongTermDebt #YieldSpread Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
