The Financial State of the Union

March 5, 2017 • John Ragan

STOCKS HAVE been on the rise since the election of Donald Trump. But the Dow doesn’t have any connection to reality.

John Ragan, one of the featured speakers at the upcoming Hear the Watchman conference in Dallas, joins us to discuss his book The Financial State of the Union and the reasons we need to be prepared for things to take a sudden turn for the worse. As John writes:

We can’t even stop from going further into debt. If we taxed 100% of all income, used it to just pay the interest on all the debt America owes, put aside enough to keep the social insurance programs from going further in the hole, we wouldn’t even have enough left over to fund the Federal Government.
