In a podcast, personal finance guru Dave Ramsey boldly declared that even if offered $1 billion at 0% interest for 10 years, he wouldn't take it. That's right, not even a billion dollars with no interest could tempt Ramsey to break his cardinal rule of never borrowing money. …… "Mathematically, it might make sense," he admitted.

Trump said in a post on Truth Social he would impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China, on his first day in office in January. Many automakers have built factories in Mexico to take advantage of relatively cheap labor and the country's proximity to the lucrative U.S....

The Pennsylvania senator spoke to NBC News about what went wrong for his party in 2024 and how it should approach the future Trump administration.
