Episode notes
Inevitability of Fiscal Austerity
- America faces a fiscal crisis driven by soaring debt, requiring tough austerity measures alongside some money printing and wealth redistribution.
- Retiring at traditional ages will become less feasible, making continued work and cultural shifts around work ethic crucial.
Medicare Spending Incentive Problem
- Medicare and Medicaid spending mostly goes to institutions like hospitals, empowering them to charge inflated prices.
- Negotiating better prices with medical providers is more effective than cutting welfare-like programs.
