Why Congress Keeps Funding Agencies Everyone "Hates" || 1722

from Heartland Newsfeed Radio Network · host Heartland Newsfeed Radio Network

Congress is "useless," the bureaucracy is built to be permanent, and the executive branch can only do so much, even when everyone is yelling "America First." In this episode, we break down why Trump can't simply delete agencies with a pen, why judges keep blocking funding throttles, and why Republicans keep signing and passing monster bills anyway. Key beats:Why "unitary executive" hits a wall when Congress created and funds the agencyThe USAID-style bloat example: US African Development Foundation, audits, fraud, and why it still survivesThe shutdown nobody noticed, the bill everyone signed, and why "later" always winsVoter ID polling vs the SAVE Act reality, plus why Real ID took foreverIf you're tired of the rhetoric and want to talk incentives, power, and what actually changes policy, this one's for you.
