Washington has become a runaway bureaucracy, and Tom Basile made the right call on America Right Now: it’s time to rein federal power and stop the spending orgy that’s hollowing out our future. Basile, who hosts America Right Now on Newsmax, used his platform to push back against the nonstop expansion of Washington’s reach and demand a return to limited government and fiscal sanity.
The fight isn’t abstract — it’s already here in the form of endless new rules and reams of regulation that crush families, drive up energy prices, and hand advantage to coastal elites. The federal register has ballooned under the current regime, and conservative voices rightly warn that regulatory overreach is being used to remake our economy and punish anyone who disagrees with the latest left-leaning fad.
Education is another front where big government has muscled states and parents aside, and Basile slammed this trend where it belongs: in plain sight. America Right Now has been a platform for parents and state leaders railing against federalized curricula and woke indoctrination, showing that people want their schools back from Washington bureaucrats.
On the spending side, the numbers tell the story: Congress has found new ways to spend on pet projects and earmarks while families tighten their belts. The billions in earmarks and unchecked new programs prove that the status quo buys votes for the political class, not prosperity for hardworking Americans.
This is not a call for chaos but for constitutional order — send power back to the states, audit the agencies, and pass real limits so future administrations can’t hollow out our liberties. Tom Basile’s career as a commentator and former GOP operative gives him credibility when he urges conservatives to organize, fight, and demand a balanced federal footprint from Washington.
If we mean what we say about freedom and opportunity, we have to stop pretending that more federal money and more federal rules are the answer. It’s time for a conservative agenda that actually conserves: fiscal restraint, parental control of education, energy independence, and an end to regulatory catastrophes that favor big donors and harm small businesses and families.
Note on reporting: the substance of this piece follows the recent America Right Now segment themes and Tom Basile’s long-standing limited-government commentary as reflected on his platform and Newsmax, though a verbatim transcript of the specific YouTube clip named in the prompt was not available on the Newsmax site during my search. The show’s pages and Basile’s commentary history confirm the host’s emphasis on limiting federal authority and spending, and the network frequently features guests and segments on student loans, parental rights, and regulatory overreach.
