How Government Insurance Programs Create Hidden Fiscal Risks

Lucas and Luna explore how government insurance programs — from flood insurance to deposit insurance — create large contingent liabilities that don't show up on the official budget. They examine the National Flood Insurance Program's debt of over $20 billion, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's $50+ billion deficit, and how the FDIC's insurance fund works. The hosts discuss why these programs often charge premiums that don't reflect true risk, how moral hazard drives more claims, and why standard budget metrics miss these trillion-dollar exposures. A concrete look at fiscal risk hiding in plain sight. #GovernmentInsurance #ContingentLiabilities #NFIP #FloodInsurance #PBGC #PensionInsurance #FDIC #DepositInsurance #MoralHazard #FiscalRisk #HiddenDebt #BudgetGimmick #InsurancePremium #TaxpayerRisk #Economics #PublicFinance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
