THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION
About this episode
Washington has spent decades proving the bigger government gets, the more money it wastes and the less accountable it becomes. 

The infamous Minnesota “learing centers,” incident showed how craven many fraudsters are when it comes to stealing federal funds, while the downstream benefits of dismantling USAID show how effective government action can be in saving taxpayer money. 

Waste, fraud, and abuse are the inevitable results of a federal government that measures success not by results, but by the size of budgets. 

The Trump Administration has taken several steps towards remedying America's fraud problem, but many questions remain.  

To help answer some of those questions, we asked Director of the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget at the Heritage Foundation Dan Kowalski to break it all down.
