Join Mel O as she dives deep into the complexities around America's mounting national debt and the latest "big beautiful" tax bill making waves in Washington. In this episode, you'll get an unfiltered, passionate breakdown of what $36.21 trillion in national debt really means for everyday Americans—not just politicians and pundits. Mel O explains the basics of how government bonds work, why the recent downgrade of the US credit rating is such a big deal, and how that could hit everything from your taxes to the cost of your next loan or credit card.

You'll also hear a thorough look at what's inside the new tax bill, including the lasting impact of the 2017 tax cuts, proposed changes to critical social safety net programs, and the ongoing debate over who really benefits from tax breaks. Mel O doesn't hold back as she draws the line from policies at the top directly to your wallet—and your kids' futures.

Think you're not affected by Congressional budget debates? Think again. Mel O breaks down recession warning signs, the impact of growing deficits, and why understanding these issues matters more than ever.
