E120: Why DOGE Needs to Cut More or it Will FAIL - w/ Tad DeHaven

Policy analyst Tad DeHaven (Cato Institute, former deputy budget director of Indiana) joins Jesse to break down why America’s spending problem runs much deeper than "waste, fraud, and abuse." They dig into the explosion of federal spending since 2015, why Social Security and Medicare are untouchable political landmines, and how the federal government undermines state-level accountability through backdoor funding and strings-attached grants.

Topics covered:
– Why Doge’s trillion-dollar fraud claims don’t hold up
– The myth of fixing the deficit by cutting "waste"
– Social Security’s looming insolvency
– Federalism vs. centralized spending
– The danger of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund
– How executive overreach threatens the Constitution
– What Saudi Arabia, Angola, and Malaysia teach us about corruption risk
– Why inflation—not politicians—may be the only real check on debt
