Political Slush Funds: USAID, FEMA, and the Broken System
Government waste, radical spending, and taxpayer dollars funding absurd programs—Mike, Glenn, and Mike break it all down in this episode of The Financial Guys Podcast. They expose $164 million in grants funneled to radical organizations, wasteful USAID spending on gender studies and trans surgeries abroad, and the staggering fraud within Social Security and government programs. They also discuss Trump’s efforts to streamline government spending, the need for term limits, and the misuse of taxpayer funds on luxury hotels for illegal immigrants. Plus, they highlight the Democrats' weak defense of these programs and why Republicans need to stop waiting around and start cutting wasteful agencies. If you’re tired of seeing your tax dollars squandered, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
