What if you could borrow money on the cheap and use it to pay for just about anything? The U.S. government can, and does, with U.S. Treasuries. But the market for Treasuries might be more fragile than we know.

In this episode, Yesha Yadav of Vanderbilt Law School explains why.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Trump Dominates

Eliana Johnson joins the podcast today to discuss the startling NBC News poll of Iowa that finds Trump with an absolute majority of Republican voters and Ron DeSantis going exactly nowhere fast. Why did DeSantis run if he was never going to challenge Trump in the first place? What about the poll numbers from CNN today that show Trump beating Biden by ten points in Michigan? And maybe the college presidents said what they said at the hearing last week because they believe it. Give a listen.

Bad Faith - Episode 330 Promo – Vibecession? (w/ Matt Bruenig & Claudia Sahm)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast    Left-Twitter has been beefing over the question of "Bidenomics": Are left criticisms "fair" given metrics which show improvements to the economy? Are they bad faith attacks levied by opportunistic leftists who think Biden doing badly is "good for the left?" Or are people praising Biden's accomplishments simply putting their electoral objectives (eg, reelecting Biden) over the sincerely held feelings of Americans who are struggling -- even as things improve? Two experts from either side of this debate -- Matt Bruenig and Claudia Sahm -- join Bad Faith to discuss the so-called vibecession with a focus on Eric Levtiz's recent piece in NY Mag
