The Fiscal Policy Podcast with Fexingo: Government Budgets, Stimulus, and Public Spending

無料で聴く

Lucas and Luna dissect the machinery of public finance — how governments borrow, spend, and tax — without the political theater. Each episode examines a single fiscal lever: a stimulus check's ripple through consumer debt, the bond market's reaction to a budget deficit, or the real cost of infrastructure spending. Lucas traces the Treasury's cash flows with a fountain pen across an abstract budget breakdown, while Luna presses on the human outcomes: which households actually benefit from a child tax credit, why a state's pension gap widens, or how procurement rules inflate the price of a new highway. The show serves economists, policy analysts, and investors who need to understand fiscal reality as it unfolds — not as campaign slogans. Expect granular case studies, from Japan's lost-decade stimulus to the U.S. inflation reduction act's supply-chain effects, with both hosts citing specific CBO scores, IMF working papers, and Federal Reserve research. They never forecast without data, never moralize, and never reduce a trillion-dollar decision to a soundbite. By the end, you'll know why the yield curve inverted — and why it matters for the next round of municipal bonds you're holding. #FiscalPolicy #GovernmentBudget #PublicSpending #Stimulus #NationalDebt #TaxPolicy #MonetaryPolicy #FederalReserve #TreasuryBonds #Infrastructure #DeficitSpending #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Business #Macroeconomics #FiscalMultiplier #CBO Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • Why Government Procurement Costs You More

    Why Government Procurement Costs You More
    2026/06/08
    Episode 39 of The Fiscal Policy Podcast with Fexingo digs into government procurement — why public agencies routinely pay two to three times more than private companies for identical goods. Lucas and Luna walk through a concrete example: how the US Department of Defense was paying over $1,000 for a single coffee maker while commercial buyers paid $50. They explore the root causes: outdated regulations, risk-averse contracting officers, and the absence of market incentives. The episode also highlights a little-known reform — the Commercial Products exception in the Federal Acquisition Regulation — that has saved billions but is underused. Finally, they ask whether AI-driven procurement tools could finally crack the inefficiency code, and share how listener support at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo helps keep the show ad-free. #GovernmentProcurement #PublicSpending #FederalAcquisitionRegulation #FAR #DefenseSpending #DoD #WastefulSpending #ProcurementReform #CommercialProducts #AIinGovernment #FiscalPolicy #Economics #BudgetEfficiency #TaxDollars #PublicSector #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Argentina Broke Its Inflation Addiction in 18 Months

    How Argentina Broke Its Inflation Addiction in 18 Months
    2026/06/08
    Argentina was the world's most stubborn inflation story — annual price growth above 200 percent, a currency that lost half its value every year, and a public that had learned to treat the peso like a hot potato. Then Javier Milei took office and did what economists said was impossible: he crushed inflation without a full dollarization. This episode walks through the specific mechanism — how the central bank stopped printing to finance the deficit, how the Treasury switched to peso-denominated debt that investors actually trusted, and how a country that had suffered hyperinflation since the 1940s finally broke the cycle. Lucas and Luna unpack the numbers, the political calculus, and whether this is a genuine turnaround or just another Argentine false dawn. Plus, a listener-supported segment on why covering fiscal policy without ads matters. #Argentina #JavierMilei #Inflation #CentralBank #FiscalPolicy #MonetaryPolicy #Deficit #Peso #Hyperinflation #EconomicReform #Treasury #DebtMarkets #Economics #GovernmentSpending #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FiscalPolicyPodcast #Macroeconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How the Government Pays More for Office Supplies Than You Do

    How the Government Pays More for Office Supplies Than You Do
    2026/06/07
    Episode 37 of The Fiscal Policy Podcast dives into the absurd world of government procurement: why a simple box of paper clips can cost the federal government five times what you'd pay at an office supply store. Lucas and Luna trace the problem from the 1930s Buy American Act through complex bidding rules, procurement officers who fear auditors more than waste, and the perverse incentives that drive public-sector purchasing. They focus on a 2025 Government Accountability Office report that found a single agency was paying $87 for a $15 office chair, and a small pilot program in Tennessee that cut costs by 30 percent by simply requiring staff to use a commercial credit card. Listeners come away understanding one concrete reason government is expensive—and a fix that actually works, with no new legislation required. #GovernmentProcurement #BuyAmericanAct #PublicSpending #GAO #OfficeSupplies #Waste #TennesseePilot #Economics #FiscalPolicy #FexingoBusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #GovernmentWaste #ProcurementReform #TaxpayerDollars #SupplyChain #Audit #Efficiency #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
