Joe Selvaggi discusses the consequences of record structural deficits and debt with budget expert Brian Riedl, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. They delve into how these factors could impact the financial stability of Medicare and Social Security and examine the limited time available to avert a potential crisis.

Tonight, Wednesday, July 23rd, at 6 pm on The Brian Crombie Hour I interview ✅ Sam Sivarajan. ALL my 🎤 podcasts and 🎦 video casts can be accessed any time on my web site https://briancrombie.com which holds repository of all my shows. 📌 Sam Sivarajan, a wealth management consultant and author, shares insights from his article “Why Trump’s big spending agenda is a worrying sign for investors on both sides of the border.” He explains how rising debt and deficits in the U.S. and Canada are becoming unsustainable, warning that the U.S. could soon spend more on interest payments than on defense. Canada and Ontario face similar risks, with debt costs threatening to limit investment in healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Sam argues this is not the time to fuel deficits, likening it to “spiking the punch bowl” instead of removing it. He also reflects on leadership today, calling for those who understand complexity, build trust, invest in people, and embrace reform. Citizens, he says, must push their leaders to act wisely—just as seasoned mountain climbers must never lose respect for the mountain they face.
