Debt Crisis: Too Much Revenue? - John T...

KERRY LUTZ
About this episode

Kerry Lutz and John Tamny dismantle the debt myth, arguing America’s problem isn’t overspending—it’s too much revenue fueling bigger government. Tamny explains how Medicare and Social Security actually help contain spending and calls for deep tax cuts and sweeping deregulation to jumpstart growth. They dig into the roots of the income tax and Federal Reserve, challenging the Fed’s supposed power as gold and silver surge on fading confidence in the dollar. With interest rates sliding and government interference distorting markets, Tamny warns this isn’t stability—it’s a crisis in real time.
