National Debt & National Security

from Indy Politics Podcast with Abdul-Hakim Shabazz · host Abdul-Hakim Shabazz

Indiana leaders are drawing a direct line between the $38 trillion national debt and America’s long-term security. At the Statehouse, Governor Mike Braun and legislative leaders argued that runaway federal borrowing is more than a budget problem — it’s a strategic vulnerability. With over $1 trillion a year now going just to interest payments, the question becomes unavoidable: how secure is a nation that spends as much servicing debt as it does defending itself? This clip breaks down House Resolution 28 and why Indiana wants Washington to treat fiscal discipline as a matter of national security.
