Financial Talk Show airing Saturdays at 3pm, Eastern on NEWSRADIO WXTK 95.1 FM Cape Cod. We call the program "Something More" so that we can talk about not only those important dollar and cents issues, but also the quality of life issues that make the money matters matter.  Not only do we speak about investment and planning concerns, but we often invite guests for interview.

AMR, US Debt Ceiling and Infrastructure Deal

Aug 2, 2021

Chris and Jeff Perry discuss the July 31st Debt Ceiling deadline. Once the Congress borrowing limit is reached, lawmakers must raise the ceiling before Treasury can issue more debt (e.g., bonds) to pay US obligations.

The national debt is currently $28 trillion, not counting entitlements ( https://www.usdebtclock.org provides more data on US debt information).

They also discuss the Infrastructure Deal, which includes proposals for transportation, water, etc. The Infrastructure Deal is not complete and will be going through the amendment process starting this week.
