With government spending spiraling out of control and the era of “fiscal dominance” upon us, Lyn pulls back the curtain on how unchecked deficits, runaway debt, and policy gridlock are fueling wealth inequality and eroding the middle class. Tom and Lyn get real about the mechanics behind inflation—why it’s more a product of policy than a law of nature—and break down why the average person can no longer afford to ignore the “runaway train” of government spending. The conversation spans everything from interest rates and trade imbalances to the true causes of persistent inflation, the hard choices around entitlement programs, and why owning assets is becoming essential for building and preserving wealth. Lyn doesn’t just outline the doom and gloom; she offers a clear-eyed look at potential solutions, the risks ahead, and practical investing strategies for weathering the storm. Whether you’re trying to make sense of the headlines, concerned about the future of the U.S. dollar, or wondering how to protect your financial future, this episode is loaded with timely insights you won’t want to miss.
