Fiscal Responsibility Is For Suckers

Debtageddon! Dollarpocalypse!

Every other “crisis” gets a clever -geddon or -pocalypse term, so why not the looming U.S. debt cap deadline? That’s the topic of this weeks discussion (the debt cap, not the silly phrases).

You’ve got from now until Aug 2nd to prepare, and we’ve got all the info you need! So grab your helmet, your mug, and give a listen.
