P and C Bank National Association 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: Member FDIC. 34 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 4: The US national debt is approaching record of thirty five trillion. 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 4: As citizens, is there anything we can do to address 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 4: or fix this issue? 37 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: I would say vote, but. 38 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 5: I don't even know if that would help, to be 39 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 5: very because remember and when we did Marku Mondy's Live 40 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 5: and Ghana, we were almost at thirty four trillion. It's 41 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 5: not even a year later, a four year later, we're 42 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 5: at thirty five, and I think we're starting to throw 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 5: these trillions around like it's nothing. At some point we're 44 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 5: going to need to revolt and figure out a shout 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 5: at the Tavio and figure out a way how to 46 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 5: get this debt down. We'll talk about the silent or 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 5: selective recession later. But when debt to GDP there's one 48 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 5: hundred and twenty two percent, But in two thousand when 49 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 5: we graduated Troy, who. 50 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: Was at fifty seven percent? Like, how to hell? Like 51 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: I remember at one time. 52 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 5: I'm not Republican, but I remember when Republicans would go 53 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 5: crazy if debt to GDP was a seventy five percent, 54 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 5: And now everyone wanted to ask, like one hundred and 55 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 5: twenty two percent, we should be at one thirty twenty 56 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 5: twenty eight is acceptable? I can't believe that we're here. 57 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 5: And if we stay at this pace while did you 58 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 5: see Kim Jong own and Putin look like they were 59 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 5: on a date? How happy they was riding together. This 60 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 5: is not good. This is not good. So I know 61 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 5: some people call me an alarmist. It's okay. Go to 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 5: us deck deck clock dot org and you can see 63 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 5: how much we owe. But every citizen os technically one 64 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 5: hundred and three thousand dollars to get the deficit back 65 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: to zero. Most people don't have one hundred and three 66 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 5: thousand as we've talked about, so we got to get 67 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 5: better leadership and hold them accountable. 68 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 6: Is that I feel like, is that the only answer? 69 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 6: Because I was like wrestling with this question and I'm 70 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 6: trying to figure out, like, as a citizen, what can 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 6: you do? I didn't want to say I'm not sure 72 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 6: what we can do? Is that we don't have nothings nothing? 73 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 6: Is this the only other answer? 74 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: Nothing? We gonna feel just like Drake did when he 75 00:03:59,120 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: saw that. 76 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 5: Now like US Game Convention, and then you can do 77 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 5: you got to just sit there and watch it and 78 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 5: be like, damn all of them don't like me, Like, yo, 79 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 5: this is insane. Of course, Stocks, of course is going 80 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 5: to do incredibly well. We'll talk about how the S 81 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 5: and P has been doing this year, But for the 82 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 5: debt to be this high while we built up India 83 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 5: and built up China and sent money to another foreign 84 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 5: country that I won't mention anymore, is absolutely insane. 85 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 6: It's funny you mentioned those two because there was just 86 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 6: a report. I believe it was in Morning Star or 87 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 6: it could have been in Seeking Alpha. But both those 88 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 6: countries are on pace to pass us in GP. I 89 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 6: think kinda by by twenty thirty is going to pass us, 90 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 6: and then I think India is like twenty thirty seven 91 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 6: or twenty forty don't yeah, I mean that's in this 92 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 6: lifetime yep, yeah, yep. 93 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 5: So honestly, there's noth nothing we can do to be 94 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 5: the one thing we potentially could do. It's act leadership 95 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 5: who are going to try and fix it. But it's tough. 96 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 5: It's tough to be almost at forty trillion in three 97 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 5: or four years. What are we doing? But Elon got paid, well, 98 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 5: he's about to get paid maybe fifty six billion. 99 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Runner been into the ground. 100 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 6: So you saying get out, get out there and go, yep, 101 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 6: we'll find another country to live in. 102 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 4: Fact, either promo code for merch forgot to mention that 103 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 4: I got to throw back. We're doing forty percent off 104 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 4: of all eyo merch. So go to our website and 105 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 4: into promo code summer forty before midnight to get forty 106 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 4: percent off of the merch. 107 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: There it is, don't forget to merch. 108 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 6: See it is, Oh jeez, no, what this is very 109 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 6: vintage original, the original. 110 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: Okay. 111 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 4: So Bloomberg projects that Social Security will run out of 112 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 4: money to pay full benefits by twenty thirty three and 113 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 4: Medicare by twenty thirty What steps can be taken to 114 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 4: mitigate this impending shortfall. 115 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 5: We're gonna get to the lighter conversations later. These first 116 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 5: two it goes back into the nothing. I just want 117 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 5: to be very honest. I think that those benefits have 118 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 5: been run out. Social Security is done for. I know 119 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 5: people keep saying that that it's not true. Once again, 120 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 5: go reference Chicago. That was the Canarian the Cold Mine 121 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 5: to tell you that the money wasn't there. Medicare by 122 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 5: twenty thirty six. That is scary, and because we don't 123 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 5: have enough checks and balances to know where the money 124 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 5: is going, where it's being spent, how it is being allocated, 125 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 5: how it's being deployed properly. So I think in our 126 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 5: lifetime we were going to have to just rest and 127 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 5: realize that Social Security or Medicare will not be there, 128 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 5: and if we continue to run into debt, other pension 129 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 5: plans are going. 130 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: To go away. 131 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 5: I remember as a kid when certain adults retired they 132 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 5: were guaranteed a pension. Then that went away, then came 133 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 5: into four o one k. That's some four to one 134 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 5: ks maybe going away in the next ten to fifteen years. 135 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: So there's nothing that we can do. What is a solution. 136 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 5: You got to invest in and take care of your 137 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 5: own financial house because nobody cares about your money the 138 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 5: way that you do. 139 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: But but it's sad and it's too late. 140 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 5: I've been beating this drum for about two years, and 141 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 5: everyone said I was a conspiracy theorist, but Bloomberg says 142 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 5: it sos official shot to Michael Bloomberg there, I. 143 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 6: Feel like we've heard this for the past couple of years, 144 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 6: and it felt like we're the direct descendance of this, 145 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 6: right like eighties babies, right, they were like as you 146 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 6: were growing up, as you were starting to work for us, 147 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 6: they would tell you, don't worry. Social surity is not 148 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 6: going to be there when you when it's time for 149 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 6: you all to retire, and that we're looking at the 150 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 6: numbers right within the next we are years, a lot 151 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 6: of us will probably be at that point where we've 152 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 6: done twenty five to thirty years in the career and 153 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 6: we're at that retirement age from a career working standpoint, 154 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 6: not from the social security standpoint. 155 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: But this is yeah, this is not one of those things. 156 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 6: Again, I'm not sure what we do other than continue 157 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 6: to educate ourselves, continue to find other ways than to 158 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 6: rely on these benefits, right, whether it's open or brokens 159 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 6: accounts of finding other pension plans. Like you said, but 160 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 6: this is a long especially for medicare. When you're talking 161 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 6: about the cost of health care in this country, I mean, 162 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 6: I don't even know how you can pay for it, 163 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 6: Like if you don't have that, if you don't have 164 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 6: health care, yeah, astronomical and even medicare is still an 165 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 6: expensive course. 166 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't. 167 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's just started planning to having 168 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 6: not even discretionary outcome. But this becomes now that emergency fund. 169 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 6: I know early on you used to say it was 170 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 6: like sixty months, and I'm like that seems like a lot. 171 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 6: But I mean, based on these numbers, if this might 172 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 6: be something that's needed, do we now adjust what the 173 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 6: savings is. I don't from a financial advisorce standpoint, what 174 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 6: do you say to that? 175 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, at first, you know this is not 176 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 4: something that's new. And from when I was a financial advisor, 177 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 4: I used to tell my clients this because actually, if 178 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 4: you look on your social Security statement, it says it 179 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 4: on your Sociality statement, it's been stated on your Social 180 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 4: Security statement for years, but nobody really reads fine print. 181 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: But so. 182 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 4: This, yeah, this is something that has been documented by 183 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 4: the Social Security Office themselves for over a decade. So 184 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 4: it's not surprising, and it doesn't necessarily mean that at 185 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, twenty thirty three, that is going to 186 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 4: be over. It's just staying at this pace. It will 187 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 4: be over, but they'll probably pump more money into it. 188 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 4: They'll they'll you know, I have very strong doubt that 189 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: Social Security will end in twenty thirty three. That's almost 190 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 4: almost impossible. They will put more money into it, and 191 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 4: they will make it. But that leads to more issues 192 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 4: because it's like, okay, we keep funding and putting ourselves 193 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 4: more into debt. But that goes back to the first thing, 194 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 4: as far as the debt is already out of contry. 195 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 4: So it's a political gain that you know, really the 196 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 4: politicians are the only ones that can kind of figure 197 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 4: this out because they're the ones that control the budget. 198 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 4: This goes back to our visit in Washington when we 199 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 4: met with you know, members of Congress and we talk 200 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 4: about you know, the Appropriations Committee, Ways and Means Committee, 201 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 4: different things of that. These type of committees control the budget, 202 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 4: where the money goes, and how it's allocated. And that's 203 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: why it's important to be politically aware and take part 204 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 4: in the political process because the members of Congress have 205 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 4: the power to make the decisions on this, and they're 206 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 4: the only ones that have the power to make the 207 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 4: decisions on this. So I'm pretty sure they'll they'll kick 208 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 4: the can down the road as long as they possibly can. 209 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 4: But yeah, it's not it's not encouraging that, you know, 210 00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 4: financially we're on a pathway of insolvency. That's never that's 211 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 4: never good, right, But ultimately, there's only a few ways 212 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 4: that you can solve these type of issues. You either, 213 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 4: you know, increase revenue, which most of the time that's 214 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: by increasing taxes, or you cut spending. So Democrats want 215 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 4: to raise taxes, Republicans want to cut spending. I think 216 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 4: you got to do a combination of both. Yeah, and 217 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 4: military spending definitely something that I think there's spend way 218 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 4: too much money on, especially overseas, over and overseas military practices, 219 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 4: overseas financial aid to other countries. There's definitely something that 220 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 4: could potentially, you know, be cut down on as a 221 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 4: line item for sure, but it's all in the hands 222 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 4: of the politicians. It's a political it's a political game. 223 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 4: But as far as how much money you should have 224 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 4: in savings, I mean, you should definitely have at least 225 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 4: six months in savings, but you know, a year for 226 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 4: sure if you can to be on the safe side. 227 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 4: That's something that's helpful and beneficial. But savings is relative. 228 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 4: I mean, if you have money in the stock market, technically, 229 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 4: that's a form of savings as well, right, Like, so 230 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 4: you should you should have as much money as you 231 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 4: possibly can quote unquote saved. I mean just in a 232 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 4: regular bank account a year, probably no more than a year. 233 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 4: But after that, you know, you put money into a 234 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: brokerag account, you put money into stocks. In an emergency situation, 235 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 4: if you need to take then you can. You can 236 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: take from that as well. So you want to have 237 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 4: as much money you know, liquid, I would use that 238 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 4: as a better word than savings. You want to have 239 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 4: as much money liquid as you possibly can because it 240 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 4: just gives you flexibility when anything. Anything can happen, and 241 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 4: you know, if you're not liquid, then you're going to 242 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 4: be in a very difficult space. 243 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 5: And the truth is even when you get to a 244 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 5: different level. Even sixty months like five years ago, is 245 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 5: by fast. There's companies that have hit a route for 246 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 5: the run for ten years. But if you look at 247 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 5: how much money they have, two point seven trillion in 248 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 5: social security left, that's the value. That's the market cap 249 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 5: of video, and video's at two point nine So everyone's 250 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 5: paid in all this time and in the course of 251 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 5: ten years, and videos has had more value than security. 252 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 5: That money probably won't be there by twenty forty. What 253 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 5: do I know? And every year we do the show 254 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 5: makes a case for why you need this much money 255 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 5: stored away. Inflation is getting higher. We won't talk about 256 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 5: the corruption, the reallocation of money. It's a lot of 257 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 5: tricky stuff going on investing yourself, to my thinking. 258 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: On top of that, you have to have your money 259 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: work for you. There's no more like. 260 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 5: The disparity between rich and poor is getting higher than ever. 261 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 5: We'll talk about it later, but now we have a 262 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 5: poor person's recession. We're gonna put all the deb on 263 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 5: those that make less than sixty grand a year, and 264 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 5: then everyone who's doing well get elevated higher. I know 265 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 5: I sound like Bernie Sanders, but it is getting tricky, 266 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 5: and as an entrepreneur, you have to be able to 267 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 5: weather a lot of storms, and sometimes the storm may 268 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 5: lasts longer than the year. 269 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 6: Sure, yep, yeah, I'm looking at this start for the 270 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 6: US government spending fiscal year to day twenty twenty four. 271 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 6: The number one category is Social Security nine hundred and 272 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 6: sixty billion.
