America Has A Debt Problem

America Has A Debt Problem

Author: FOX News Radio May 15, 2026 Duration: 33:20
Americans are carrying more debt than ever, but is the "danger zone" actually here? As a new inflation report shows prices climbing again, disposable income is getting squeezed even while consumer spending remains strong. FOX Business Contributor Lou Basenese joins us to break down the latest New York Fed data, exploring how global conflict affects your wallet and how to manage high-interest debt in a "higher for longer" environment. What happened to the American scientists who had suddenly died or vanished? A new FOX Nation special, "Vanished: America's Missing Scientists," investigates the mysterious disappearances and deaths of at least 11 individuals tied to U.S. nuclear, defense, and aerospace programs since 2022. While some say these tragic events are coincidences, others see a dire threat to national security. Theoretical physicist and best-selling author Dr. Michio Kaku joins the Rundown to discuss why these "coincidences" are making him uncomfortable. PLUS, commentary by Ted Jenkin, president of Exit Stage Left Advisors and Host of The Red, White & Green Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
