Lyn Alden: Can Anything Stop The Runaway Train Of Fiscal Deficits?
One of the biggest forces boosting both economic growth and asset price appreciation over recent years has been the explosion of higher fiscal deficit spending -- sending the prices of all assets including growth stocks, gold and Bitcoin soaring.
Today's guest, analyst Lyn Alden, predicts we'll be stuck with these these large deficits for a long time to come, often repeating in her writing that "nothing stops this train".
Why?
And if indeed so, what are the implications for investors?
And furthermore, with a new US presidential Administration publicly committed to reducing government spending, is the train truly unstoppable?
For answers, we'll ask Lyn directly.
Lyn, thanks so much for joining us today!

The Fed Has Ruined The Free Market | Thomas Hoenig, Former Fed Exec
Well, we have a new US Presidential Administration with a very different economic strategy than its predecessor.
The president has already started vocally demanding the Federal Reserve be more aggressive in lowering interest rates.
And he's appointed a new head, Scott Bessent, at the US Treasury, replacing Janet Yellen.
What should we expect from the policies this Administration intends to pursue?
Will Jerome Powell march to the President's demands? Or will he flex to assert the Fed's independence?
And where does inflation figure into all of this?
For a true expert's informed perspective on these very important questions, we have the great privilege today of speaking with Dr Thomas Hoenig, former CEO of the Kansas City Fed, former voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee, a former director of the FDIC, and now a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Mercatus Center.
