Porkopolis Economics covers macroeconomics, money, and sports from the creator of the Crypto Voices podcast, Matthew Mezinskis.
Continuing our series on the United States National Debt. The U.S. debt is constantly on the news both worldwide and in the country but how exactly did we get from $70 million to $34.6 trillion? We will look at debt, the increase in debt, taxes that are raised to fight off the debt, and the money that is printed during this time.
