From cats running on treadmills, to monkey’s gambling, these are just some of the shocking ways the government is wasting YOUR money. Dr. Phil dives deep into the reckless spending of taxpayer dollars by the government, despite a national debt surpassing $34 trillion. Examples of this spending include $2.7 million for cats on treadmills and $1.8 million on monkeys gambling, illustrating just a few of the many questionable expenditures that add up to trillions, draining the resources of hardworking Americans, small business owners, government employees, and everyday citizens. Joining Dr. Phil are several guests who bring real-life experiences to this pressing issue: Tareka, a small business owner, shares how she urgently needs government support to stay afloat but hasn’t been able to secure any funds. Venisi, a three-time combat veteran, recounts his challenges in securing a loan for his small business, despite his dedicated service to the country. Dr. Monica Crowley, Ph.D., former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Public Affairs, discusses her concerns over excessive social program spending and small business aid, viewing them as potential threats to the nation’s future.
