I'm speechless and had no idea. A stool pigeon could do better than this. America it's time to find someone who can balance the budget ( Bill Clinton) did so.
Australia recognised this problem before Federation. It's written into our Constitution that any spending bill can only deal with that spending and any taxation bill can only deal with that particular tax or levy.
Are you alone in pointing out these inane spending sprees. Hopefully there are others telling their states about this also. I appreciate all your good work!
Wow. I wish they had a breakdown for each state like this. That was spot on how the $$ is used for ridiculous things. I wish people would have protests over this type of thing instead of focusing on other things that have nothing to do with them. Taxes have something to do with everyone, so why are they not stopping traffic and complaining about this.....
Back in the 60’s Johnny Carson used to talk about ridiculous government spending. One was a study where they spent $75 thousand dollars(remember this was in the 60’s) on why kids fall off of tricycles.
@ no, it was that they spent that much money and came up with the same reason kids fall off of tricycles that anyone with half a brain could figure out without spending $75 thousand dollars. They turned the wheel too sharp, going too fast, ran off a curb.
Changing the names of military bases, remove statues, I think they are trying to remove HISTORY!!! What kind of the people are wanting to do this???? I say heck NO, NOT EVER!!!!!
@@brandonholmes4350 it wasn't just bases, but it was all sorts of things that have names associated with the confederate states of America, such as street names, ship names, post names, etc.
In some of his past clips he reveals how much was spent on each of these were. That information really helps to make sure you understand how ridiculous these really were.
Every expenditure that is in a bill should be required to have someone's N AME included with it so we can see who's being responsible and who's spending OUR money like a drunken sailor.
All the taxpayer funded programs for whatever wherever should be put on T.V. everyday all day throughout the year especially if it goes to pay for something outside our country!!!!!
Very misleading when it comes to spending in the USA. Blue states pay the highest share of federal budget. Most southern states receive subsidies from the Fed.
Ok the government overspends on questionable things and taxpayers pay for them. And deficits are created (31.4 trillion dollars). But Lankford fails to mention that the deficits are made up by borrowing from corporations and the rich who then get windfalls in interest. Corporations and rich people whose taxes continue to be lowered by the Republicans. Sounds like the corporations and the rich love having deficits because it allows them to profit big-time. So maybe they like the government to overspend on questionable things. Sounds like a scam by the rich.
Back in like 1915 the govt made a kaw that gabe them unlimited credit to spend our taxes as thry saw for but it used go be every time they wanted to spend money it had to be voted for by the people. I think it should be changed back and only in cases of national security or when its an issue like a disaster and there has to be cases where they can spend when they beed but not just blowing iur money as they see fit
Does this book delineate the individuals in the House and Senate who are the worst abusers of the budget? If it doesn’t then this is worthless information.
It’s crazy that this is the reason we are neck deep in dept!!!! This is why you can’t elect democrats! Well you know among a plethora of other reasons.
RFK 's plan was that the government spending be put on Blockchain so every penny spent would be automatically recorded and anyone could view that anytime. I don't know if that would work but it sounded good.
This is just another example of what is so important about DOGE and why Elon Musk and Vivek R. are taking on the Challenge given by President-elect Donald Trump.
Payment Errors: The federal government made $247 billion worth of payment errors in fiscal year 2022 and $236 billion in 2023. These errors include overpayments or payments to ineligible recipients1. Unused Buildings: Federal agencies are using only 12% of the space in their headquarters buildings on average. Maintaining these underutilized properties costs hundreds of millions of dollars annually1. Expired Programs: In fiscal year 2023, Congress allocated $516 billion to programs whose authorizations had expired, with a significant portion of these funds going to activities that expired over a decade ago1. Furniture Expenditures: The House Oversight Committee reported spending $3.3 billion on furniture over the past few years, including for office spaces that were largely empty due to telework1.
Please stop using Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid when you talk about federal debt. Those three things have absolutely nothing to do with out national debt. We pay for those in advance.
I am so sorry you are so blinded by partisanship that you can't see there are issues we can work together on. That is exactly why we can never get anything done.
Thank you sir for shining the light on this asinine spending. Please continue to do so.
I'm speechless and had no idea. A stool pigeon could do better than this. America it's time to find someone who can balance the budget ( Bill Clinton) did so.
Get rid of Louis DeJoy. He's a waste for our Post Office. He has been paid $2,183,083. From 2020 to 2024.
Shocking. This needs to be shared a million times over!
How this doesn't have 10 million views shocks me
Right!!!
Someone posted a FOX News report that covered this, and libs commented nothing but "FAKE FOX NEWS!!!"... It's like.. Really people? You have Google...
It’s too slow
Why is this not on EVERY NEWS STATION..2-3x a week..
Impeach these traitors
Vivek & Elan should definitely bring you on board to help with government efficiency.
This is called money laundering
No more omnibus bills! Congress needs adopt single subject spending bills.
Australia recognised this problem before Federation. It's written into our Constitution that any spending bill can only deal with that spending and any taxation bill can only deal with that particular tax or levy.
It’s time to just say NO to all this waste.
when senators and congress members do these videos, they need to list the people who authorized and voted for the spending
Can we start by decreasing the pay and benefits for federal officials?
Are you alone in pointing out these inane spending sprees. Hopefully there are others telling their states about this also. I appreciate all your good work!
Alabama where are you on this gentleman thoughts
Rand Paul has been doing this for years and no one has paid attention to him either
Not Senators from Massachusetts! Those 2 idiots are part of the problem
Our government wastes so much money it is unbelievable!
He should include `US provides $200m for gender equality in Pakistan`
Lankford and Paul should gang up on this.
Good presentation!
I've been sharing this everywhere! I'm so happy it is getting traction!! Woohoo! ⭐
this is like quoting the headlines of articles from the Onion
This is crazy look what thy have done. To our country this is nuts😂
Thanks for confirming the blatant waste of our tax dollars we always knew existed
How about a study on what punishments are suitable for the abusers of the taxpayers of this country.
Anyone know how much the govt says a pencil costs. Like 7 bucks. They lie about it to get more money
Kick the Central Bank out of the U.S. and just cancel the debt! Easy!
Wow. I wish they had a breakdown for each state like this. That was spot on how the $$ is used for ridiculous things. I wish people would have protests over this type of thing instead of focusing on other things that have nothing to do with them.

Some one is getting kickbacks
Money laundering.

were kids falling off tricycles a lot in the 60s?
@ no, it was that they spent that much money and came up with the same reason kids fall off of tricycles that anyone with half a brain could figure out without spending $75 thousand dollars. They turned the wheel too sharp, going too fast, ran off a curb.
Democrats should explain these- 31 trillion in debt!
This is a mother load of shame on our nation and it's only Oklahoma finding this. This hole runs so deep I won't live to see the bottom.
Next step, up the ante and name and shame both those who gave the grants and who received them.
Shame works.
I hope you included the $65M to change the name of. army bases.
Why does it cost 65 million to change bases names. Someone's lying about the cost of things
Changing the names of military bases, remove statues, I think they are trying to remove HISTORY!!! What kind of the people are wanting to do this???? I say heck NO, NOT EVER!!!!!
@@brandonholmes4350 it wasn't just bases, but it was all sorts of things that have names associated with the confederate states of America, such as street names, ship names, post names, etc.
I am from and living in Oklahoma and I didn't vote for any of this.
Elon Musk and vivette Ramaswami to the rescue!!! 1 year later thanks to Donald Trump's land slidevictory!!!
This is exactly what DOGE will focus on. Get ready folks.
Good composure at the 50 second mark, sir. Almost cracked a little. Lol
They chose the right guy to speak
Excellent job💪🏿💯

Abolish all tax laws now.
All the taxpayer funded programs for whatever wherever should be put on T.V. everyday all day throughout the year especially if it goes to pay for something outside our country!!!!!
you can use the internet to find them
Why are there Only 609 views UA-cam must be monetizing this Very Important exposure
Love this guy haha perfect successor for the snowballthrower, doesn’t thought it can get better than that.

the gahna helmet study program started in 2005 under bush admin with full control of both houses
Thank you.
I want my money back.!!
Yes balance what we can!!!
I’m so glad Trump initiated D.O.G.E. after his reelection on 11/05/24. Maybe we they can start with the waste identified by Senator Langford!
Very misleading when it comes to spending in the USA. Blue states pay the highest share of federal budget. Most southern states receive subsidies from the Fed.
Run for president…please
Don’t worry be happy!!!
Pass a balanced budget amendment and your done....
Run for President
Single or no more than 10 bills to be approved or rejected, so senators have time to read them carefully and then share with their constituents.
Gender studies in Pakistan
How does this have less than 5k views ?!

Some loot didn't make it into pockets?

This sounds like woke idea of looting money

You rock

Why am I being forced to pay taxes to Israel?
Why wont you run for president? 2028 is wide open, get ahead while you can!

A lot of these sound like CIA covers
Come on Elon and Vivek!
Make it work. Thats your f... job. Go to work.
A video like this only gets 5k views? This should be a viral video, guess a tik tok video is more important.
Wow
This is a very dry video, but these are some strange uses of our tax dollars.
Line item veto
can you say covert ops
The government doesn't have enough money and you are trying to give tax cuts to billionaires
Stop spending money on studying programs
Please stop using Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid when you talk about federal debt. Those three things have absolutely nothing to do with out national debt. We pay for those in advance.
And you keep talking from both sides of your mouth!
Oklahoma is not for supporting foreign countries until we have a balanced budget!
How much did it cost to print those giant flash cards?
0.0001% of the cost that's being talked about
An expense I consider a small investment that could help in saving millions, maybe even billions. One of those spend money to make money things.
Hey Sen. why don't you run as a Democrat? You would be better suited. You RINO
I am so sorry you are so blinded by partisanship that you can't see there are issues we can work together on. That is exactly why we can never get anything done.
Wow
