When Jamie Dimon warns that the U.S. bond market could "crack," it’s time to listen. This week, we dive into America’s mounting debt crisis, with U.S. debt now surpassing $34 trillion, deficits running at $2 trillion a year, and interest payments exceeding military spending. We unpack how Trump’s tax cuts, tariffs, and spending splurges are pushing the system to breaking point, and why a bond market crack could trigger a global dollar crisis.
Then we turn the lens to Ireland, where the economy is running too hot: clogged roads, soaring rents, and an influx of investment we can’t absorb. Should Ireland slow down before the next global downturn forces us to? From bond yields to blocked-up Westland Row, this episode connects the big macro shifts to the everyday pressures you feel on your commute.
