January 16, 2024 18:00 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBThe searing criticisms of an overbearing, unaccountable government in "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine ring as true today as they did in 1776.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, they turn the channel. Liberals deman...

The majority of those assets are treasury bonds. Bonds are a debt instrument. When the government sells a bond, it promises to pay a fixed interested rate for a certain period of time. This is similar to a CD. The government does not pay down the debt. When a bond matures, the government issues a new bond at the current interest rate. The total na...
