Has the Bill Come Due? Three Views on the Debt Crisis

Описание: In this COSM 2025 panel, John Tamny, Mark Skousen, and Steve Forbes debate whether America’s $38 trillion national debt represents a looming crisis — or a misunderstood economic phenomenon. The discussion explores competing views on deficits, government spending, taxation, and economic growth, with Tamny arguing that large federal debt reflects strong investor confidence in the U.S. economy rather than impending collapse.

Skousen and Forbes challenge that view, warning that persistent deficits, expanding government, regulatory burdens, and unstable monetary policy could slow growth and increase long-term economic risk. Together, the panel offers a lively and sometimes humorous exchange on fiscal policy, inflation, taxation, and the policies needed to sustain prosperity in the decades ahead.

The mission of the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Discovery Institute is to explore the benefits as well as the challenges raised by artificial intelligence (AI) in light of the enduring truth of human exceptionalism. People know at a fundamental level that they are not machines. But faulty thinking can cause people to assent to views that in their heart of hearts they know to be untrue. The Bradley Center seeks to help individuals — and our society at large — to realize that we are not machines while at the same time helping to put machines (especially computers and AI) in proper perspective.
