The REAL Reason Behind The Government Shutdown w/ Congressman Ro Khanna

Tom Bilyeu interviews Congressman Ro Khanna about the American Dream, the government shutdown, and economic policy. Khanna expresses concern that most Americans believe their children won't surpass their own achievements, which he sees as the core issue. Bilyeu questions the wisdom of adding to the deficit through initiatives like extending Affordable Care Act premiums. Khanna defends his plan to reduce debt by $12 trillion over 10 years through measures like a wealth tax and cuts to the Pentagon budget. They discuss the role of freedom and government intervention in fostering prosperity, disagreeing on the effectiveness of government spending on healthcare and education. Bilyeu argues that debt is the root cause of the decline of the American Dream, while Khanna points to deindustrialization and lack of access to healthcare and education as contributing factors. They explore the impact of inflation, technology, and dietary choices on economic well-being and health outcomes.
