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.
