Breaking Down the Big Issues with Mike Sperrazza, Mike Lomas & Glenn Wiggle
In this episode of The Financial Guys Podcast, Mike Sperrazza, Mike Lomas, and Glenn Wiggle dive deep into the political and economic turmoil shaping today’s world. From the failures of the education system to global trade wars, Ukraine funding, and Canada’s economic struggles, the discussion highlights government inefficiencies, leadership failures, and the impact of misguided policies on everyday citizens.
The Education System Is a Disaster—And We’re Paying for It
The U.S. education system is failing, yet Democrats act shocked when conservatives vote to dismantle it. The hosts point out that the Department of Education has done nothing but waste taxpayer money while student performance has plummeted. Cities like Baltimore, Chicago, and Buffalo have schools with zero percent proficiency in reading and math, yet liberals refuse to acknowledge the failure.
“They say the Department of Education helps children—who exactly? The bureaucrats cashing paychecks for doing nothing?”
Rather than pushing education back to the states and creating competition, democrats insist on federal control, even though states like Florida, with no state income tax, now have better schools than New York.
Canada’s Economic & Political Mess
Canada is facing a crushing tax burden, with middle-class earners paying over 40% in taxes. The hosts argue that Trudeau’s government has driven Canada into economic disaster, with high cost of living, healthcare failures, and government overreach killing opportunity.
While Americans are fighting trade wars, Canada continues imposing massive tariffs on U.S. goods, even on industries they don’t even have, just to line the government’s pockets. Meanwhile, Trudeau resigned, and his hand-picked replacement is another World Economic Forum puppet, proving that Canada’s leadership problems are far from over.
The Broken U.S. Economy: What Needs to Change?
The U.S. economy is in crisis, with interest rates making homeownership impossible and government policies crushing small businesses. Instead of cutting taxes and encouraging competition, Democrats focus on redistributing wealth and fueling inflation.
The hosts argue that:
Tax cuts should go to job creators, not just for “targeted” handouts.
The housing market needs deregulation, not more government interference.
Trump’s trade policies need consistency—we can’t keep flipping on tariffs.
“The Fed crushed the economy with rate hikes, and now they wonder why people can’t afford homes. Newsflash: A $300,000 house at 7% interest is not affordable.”
The Media’s Role in Political Brainwashing
The media has become a propaganda machine, pushing misinformation to control public perception. The hosts highlight how media narratives on COVID, gender identity, and economic policies have brainwashed Americans into supporting policies that actively harm them.
“The Democrats need people to believe they are victims—because if people wake up and realize they can succeed on their own, the entire Democrat platform collapses.”
Examples include:
COVID hysteria, where fear was weaponized to control people.
The push for men in women’s sports, despite overwhelming opposition.
Demonizing Trump’s policies, even when they worked, just to maintain political power.
Final Thoughts: We Need Real Leadership
The global political landscape is shifting, and people are waking up to the failures of big government. The hosts emphasize the need for strong leadership, reduced government interference, and economic policies that actually work for everyday Americans.
