About the episode: The United States federal government spends far more than it takes in each year—leaving us with a staggering $37+ trillion national debt. But how exactly does the government fund this massive deficit? In this episode of the Monday Money Tip Podcast (#348), Joe and Megan break down:

Whether the government could ever run out of buyers for its debt

We'll also tackle the big questions:
