Lucas and Luna examine the mechanics of national debt, Treasury issuance, and long-term fiscal sustainability through the lens of current market data and historical precedent. Each episode starts from a fresh figure — a yield curve inversion, a CBO long-term projection, an auction bid-to-cover ratio — and follows the chain of cause and effect: what that number means for government borrowing costs, for private investment, for the dollar's reserve status, and for the trade-offs policymakers face between growth and solvency. The conversations move from a specific data point into the institutional structures that govern federal finance: the role of the primary dealer system, the strategic importance of the foreign holder base, the interaction between Fed rate decisions and debt servicing costs, and the political economy of deficit politics. Lucas brings the journalistic discipline of calling a trend by its real-world name — 'that's not an infrastructure investment, it's a transfer payment dressed in hard hats' — while Luna tests assumptions with practical questions: 'If the term premium is rising because of supply saturation, at what point does the auction fail, and what happens then?' The listener is treated as someone who already understands compound interest, present value, and basic macro, and wants to know how the machinery actually works. No party allegiances, no policy cheerleading — just the arithmetic of a nation's balance sheet and the implications for asset prices, inflation, and the next generation's tax burden. Can a country with a debt-to-GDP ratio above 100% still borrow at 4% without crowding out private investment, and where is the actual limit? #NationalDebt #TreasuryMarket #FederalReserve #FiscalPolicy #LongTermOutlook #Deficit #YieldCurve #DebtToGDP #BondMarket #PrimaryDealers #AuctionMechanics #DOLLAR #Inflation #CentralBanking #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FiscalSustainability Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How the 30-Year Yield at 5 Percent Locks In Higher Borrowing Costs

    How the 30-Year Yield at 5 Percent Locks In Higher Borrowing Costs
    2026/07/21
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how the 30-year Treasury yield hovering above 5 percent is reshaping the long-term fiscal outlook. With the yield at 5.06 percent as of mid-July 2026, the cost of new borrowing is permanently higher, adding hundreds of billions to interest payments. Lucas breaks down why this level matters for the debt trajectory, how it contrasts with the short-term rate environment (the 3-month yield is at 3.85 percent), and what it means for investors and policymakers. Luna questions whether the bond market is sending a signal about fiscal credibility. They reference the latest data showing federal debt at $39.1 trillion and the deficit at $1.77 trillion, and discuss how a 5 percent handle on long-term rates could become the new normal. The conversation stays grounded in current numbers and looks ahead to implications for the next decade. #30YearYield #TreasuryYields #NationalDebt #FiscalOutlook #BondMarket #InterestRates #Deficit #FederalDebt #LongTermRates #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #GovernmentBorrowing #YieldCurve #DebtTrajectory #MonetaryPolicy #Treasury Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Import Costs from China Are Adding to the National Debt

    How Import Costs from China Are Adding to the National Debt
    2026/07/21
    Episode 125 of The National Debt Podcast explores a surprising new driver of US fiscal pressure: rising import costs from China. Lucas and Luna break down the latest data showing import prices from China hit their highest level since 2008, and explain how higher input costs for businesses feed into slower economic growth, reduced tax revenue, and ultimately a larger deficit. They connect the dots between trade prices, corporate margins, and the federal borrowing trajectory, using the latest Treasury yield curve and deficit figures. The conversation stays grounded in the numbers—no overheated rhetoric—and offers listeners a concrete, actionable takeaway on a channel most debt-watchers overlook. #NationalDebt #USDeficit #ChinaImports #ImportPrices #TradePolicy #Tariffs #Inflation #TreasuryYields #FiscalPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #GovernmentDebt #SupplyChain #CorporateMargins #TaxRevenue #FederalReserve Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Import Prices From China Are Adding to the National Debt

    How Import Prices From China Are Adding to the National Debt
    2026/07/20
    On this episode of The National Debt Podcast, Lucas and Luna examine a surprising data point: import prices from China just hit their highest level since 2008. They explore how rising costs for imported goods feed into inflation, which in turn increases the government's interest payments on inflation-indexed securities and pushes up overall borrowing costs. With the 30-year yield at 5.09 percent and the Fed holding rates steady, they drill into the specific mechanism by which trade policy and tariff uncertainty are making the debt math worse. Lucas brings a concrete number: $400 billion in additional interest costs over the next decade if yields stay elevated. Luna challenges him on whether the Fed's next move could offset some of that pressure. They also discuss how wholesale deflation in other categories complicates the picture, creating a 'choose your own adventure' for fiscal forecasters. The episode ends with a look at what the Hormuz situation could mean for energy costs and the debt trajectory. #NationalDebt #TreasuryYields #ImportPrices #China #Tariffs #Inflation #FiscalPolicy #Fed #InterestRates #30YearYield #WholesaleDeflation #Hormuz #EnergyCosts #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DebtMath #FiscalOutlook Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
