Description

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today’s thought-provoking deep dive, Tom tackles a provocative question: What if the very things we’ve been told are destroying our system – waste, fraud, and abuse – are actually the glue holding it all together? Using compelling analogies and referencing both modern monetary theory and historical perspectives from Machiavelli, Tom reveals the foundational flaws in America’s economic and political system. He explores why deficit spending isn’t just common, but required, and exposes how our reliance on debt has created a cycle that keeps the rich getting richer and the poor falling further behind.




From biblical wisdom to the hidden mechanics of the Federal Reserve, this episode challenges everything you thought you knew about power, politics, and the economy. Tom dissects the real reasons behind recent political theater — including the rise and fall of Doge and Elon Musk’s controversial moves — and warns about the dangerous cliff our system is heading toward.
