The Financial Guys Podcast- May 21, 2025
In this eye-opening episode of The Financial Guys Podcast, Mike Lomas and Mike Sperrazza take on everything from Joe Biden’s health revelations to government waste, public education dysfunction, tax policy, border chaos, and the crumbling of American cities. If it feels like the country’s declining, it’s because it is. But the Mikes aren’t just ranting—they’re offering real solutions, common sense accountability, and a lot of numbers to back it up.
Biden’s Health & the Cover-Up Nobody’s Surprised About
The show kicks off with a discussion around the revelation that President Biden has a serious form of cancer, something many suspect was hidden for years. The hosts argue that this is just another example of the media and political machine shielding the public from the truth.
“We watched him decline in real time—and yet his doctors said he was ‘sharper than ever.’ Really?”
Government Bloat, Bureaucracy & the Need for Shrinkage
From local government to federal agencies, the hosts explore why government needs to be run like a business—efficient, lean, and accountable.
“We don’t need to make a profit, but we sure as h*ll need to break even. Shrink it down.”
Broken Budgets & Ballooning Deficits
With New York State running massive deficits, the Mikes ask the obvious question: How do you spend $160 million annually on a school district like Lancaster?
-
Over $32,000 per student
-
Nearly $650,000 per classroom
-
Minimal performance metrics
-
Still not enough discipline or results
“Private schools are doing more with half the money. So where’s it all going?”
Urban Decay in Buffalo & Other Blue Cities
The city of Buffalo has plenty of potential—but no growth, no safety, and no accountability. The Mikes call for:
-
Tax incentives for homebuilders
-
Clean, safe neighborhoods
-
A crackdown on crime
-
Better schools to attract families
“You want to rebuild a city? It starts with public safety and ends with good schools.”
Final Thoughts: Shrink Government, Cut Taxes, Enforce the Law
If there’s a theme this week, it’s this: Cut the size of Government & Restore law and order. From education reform to border enforcement to economic development, common sense has left the building.
