Financial Sense Newshour engages in an insightful conversation with Jim Bianco regarding US spending, his longer-term view on inflation, interest rates moving higher, and more. Jim highlights that the US government's current expenditure amounts to approximately 6.5% of GDP annually, a level typically associated with a significant recession or financial crisis. While this expenditure aids in averting an economic slowdown, it also presents inflationary risks and significantly influences consumer psychology regarding savings and consumption patterns, which is sowing the seeds for a separate type of crisis. Listen in to hear what Jim Bianco has to say about today's markets and where he thinks things are heading.
