In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the single most underestimated line item in the federal budget: interest on the national debt. Lucas and Luna explore how rising rates have transformed debt service from a manageable expense into a dominant fiscal force, surpassing defense spending and threatening future investment. We break down the mechanics of Treasury securities, explain why borrowing costs are structurally higher today than in the low-rate era, and examine what this shift means for taxpayers, investors, and long-term economic stability as we navigate the fiscal landscape of late 2026. #FederalDebt #TreasuryBonds #InterestRates #FiscalPolicy #GovernmentSpending #PublicFinance #EconomicsExplained #NationalDebt #BudgetDeficit #Macroeconomics #FinancialMarkets #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #DebtService #MonetaryPolicy #FiscalSustainability #USconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
