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.

  • Why Treasury Is Stuck Borrowing at the Front of the Curve

    Why Treasury Is Stuck Borrowing at the Front of the Curve
    2026/06/06
    The U.S. Treasury now issues more short-term debt than at any point since the financial crisis. Lucas and Luna explain why the government is effectively borrowing on a credit card — issuing bills with maturities under one year to fund long-term spending. They break down the mechanics: the Treasury's cash management problem, the role of the debt ceiling, and what happens when 3-month yields stay above 3.6 percent while the 30-year sits at 5 percent. Using June 2026 data, they show how the ratio of bills to total marketable debt has climbed past 22 percent, and why that creates rollover risk for every new auction. This episode connects the yield curve's front-end dynamics to a deeper question: how long can the fiscal system run on short-term funding before the market demands a premium? #TreasuryBorrowing #ShortTermDebt #NationalDebt #YieldCurve #TBill #3MonthYield #FiscalPolicy #DebtManagement #TreasuryAuctions #BondMarket #FederalDebt #Economics #MacroEconomics #FiscalOutlook #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How the 3-Month Yield Is Breaking the Curve

    How the 3-Month Yield Is Breaking the Curve
    2026/06/05
    Lucas and Luna dig into a puzzling signal in the Treasury market: the 3-month bill yield is holding near 3.78 percent while the 10-year sits at 4.49. That narrow 71-basis-point gap is historically abnormal and suggests the market is pricing in a very different rate path than the Fed's current stance. They walk through what the short end is saying about recession risk, the Fed's next moves, and how this twist connects to the broader fiscal outlook as the national debt crosses 38.5 trillion dollars. A focused look at one overlooked yield-curve corner that might be telling us more than the 10-2 spread. #TreasuryYields #ThreeMonthBills #YieldCurve #FedPolicy #ShortEnd #NationalDebt #BondMarket #RecessionSignal #InterestRates #FiscalPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #DebtPodcast #MonetaryPolicy #FedFundsRate #Inversion Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Why Long-Term Unemployment Is a Hidden Fiscal Time Bomb

    Why Long-Term Unemployment Is a Hidden Fiscal Time Bomb
    2026/06/05
    This week on The National Debt Podcast, Lucas and Luna connect two seemingly separate dots: the rising long-term unemployment rate and the accelerating national debt. With federal debt at 38.5 trillion dollars and the 30-year Treasury yield hovering near 5 percent, they explain why workers who are out of a job for more than six months aren't just a labor-market problem — they're a structural fiscal problem. Lucas breaks down the math: how long-term joblessness reduces tax revenue, forces higher spending on unemployment insurance and food assistance, and ultimately widens the deficit. Luna points to the human cost — lost skills, reduced lifetime earnings, and the hidden drag on GDP. Using data from the May jobs preview and the latest Treasury yields, they argue that if long-term unemployment is surging even as headline job growth looks decent, the bond market is going to notice. The episode closes on the question no policymaker wants to answer: can we afford to ignore the long-term unemployed when the debt-to-GDP ratio is already at 122 percent? #LongTermUnemployment #NationalDebt #FederalDeficit #TreasuryYields #FiscalPolicy #EconomicRecovery #LaborMarket #BondMarket #DebtToGDP #30YearYield #JoblessRecovery #StructuralUnemployment #GovernmentSpending #TaxRevenue #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NationalDebtPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
