YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this video, Luke Thomas unpacks one of the most hotly debated questions in American politics: should we cut government spending to reduce the national debt? Drawing from Modern Monetary Theory, historical framing of “waste, fraud, and abuse,” and the real-life impact of entitlement programs like Social Security, Luke explains why obsessing over deficits misses the bigger picture. This isn't just about numbers—it’s about what kind of society we want to live in, and what we owe to each other.
