A new financial meme, "the cleanest dirty shirt," is used to describe the U.S. economy's relative standing in a world of failing sovereign debt. The hosts suggest that Greek debt figures were manipulated by technocrats to trigger a controlled default.

Bill Gross, co-founder of PIMCO, warned that the United States faces a "present value deficit" of nearly $100 trillion when including obligations for Medicare and Social Security. This debt level is significantly higher than that of Greece relative to GDP, suggesting that the U.S. may eventually face a similar fiscal reckoning.

Locally, San Francisco bridge tolls are increasing by a dollar, which is criticized as "raping the public." Additionally, former Treasury official Neil Kashkari has moved to the financial firm PIMCO, illustrating the "revolving door" between government and finance.
