Carl Higbie argues that politician money is being funneled into corrupt government programs, wasteful spending, and projects that benefit political allies rather than the American people. His analysis highlights several key areas where he believes taxpayer dollars are misused:
Higbie claims agencies like USAID have become slush funds for political agendas. He points to Bill Clinton’s policies in Haiti, where $850 million in aid enriched Arkansas rice donors while destroying Haiti’s economy. The Clintons later allegedly controlled $13 billion in post-earthquake relief funds, with mining contracts benefiting associates.
The Pentagon’s budget faces scrutiny for bloated spending, including $60 billion in “eligible cuts” identified by oversight efforts. Higbie shares firsthand experiences testing overpriced, unreliable military gear funded by taxpayer dollars. He criticizes excessive civilian employee costs and inefficient procurement processes.
Higbie accuses the FBI of weaponizing power against conservatives through warrantless surveillance (200,000+ searches via FISA Section 702) and politically motivated investigations like the Steele dossier. He argues these actions wasted millions pursuing false narratives rather than legitimate law enforcement.
Programs like Amtrak ($705 million annual loss) and the Postal Service are cited as examples of mismanagement. Higbie supports privatizing these entities to end taxpayer-funded bailouts.
During committee hearings, Higbie called out lawmakers like Bernie Sanders for accepting millions from pharmaceutical industry donors while pushing policies that benefit those companies.
Through these examples, Higbie paints a picture of a system where politicians direct funds to pet projects, wasteful bureaucracy, and shadowy deals rather than serving taxpayers. He praises oversight efforts to slash budgets, reduce bloat, and expose what he calls “fraudulent” spending habits.
