Jordan Belfort, the real-life “Wolf of Wall Street,” recently appeared on Fox News to slam wasteful government spending. He questioned how America could be going “broke” while politicians keep wasting taxpayer money. Belfort praised President Trump’s new DOGE team for uncovering shocking examples of government waste. He said leaving budgets blank or mismanaging funds isn’t an accident—it’s a sign of corruption.
The DOGE team, led by Elon Musk, has exposed billions wasted on failed programs and bloated agencies. For example, the Pentagon failed audits for years while spending $850 billion annually. Musk’s team found outdated systems still using fax machines and spreadsheets to track weapons. Critics say this incompetence puts national security at risk while draining wallets.
Belfort blasted Democrats for suddenly opposing budget cuts they once supported. Videos show Obama and Biden calling for slashing wasteful programs years ago. Now, Democrats are suing to stop DOGE’s reforms. Conservatives argue this hypocrisy proves liberals care more about power than fixing broken systems.
The DOGE cleanup has already fired thousands of unnecessary federal workers. At the Department of Energy, hundreds overseeing nuclear weapons were let go before being rehired due to backlash. The VA also cut over 1,000 jobs despite protests. Supporters say trimming fat is long overdue in these overstaffed agencies.
Belfort warned that unchecked spending leads to sky-high inflation hurting families. He compared today’s economy to the 1970s crisis with 20% interest rates. The Wolf said bad policies on energy and regulation created this “self-inflicted” mess. Until Washington stops wasting money, prices will keep rising.
Conservatives cheer DOGE for tackling the “swamp” of government waste. Examples include foreign aid programs that fund foreign dictators instead of helping Americans. Farmers now struggle because aid cuts stopped sending crops overseas. Trump allies say prioritizing U.S. needs over global handouts is common sense.
Despite fake outrage from liberals, polls show most Americans back DOGE’s mission. Nearly half approve of rooting out fraud compared to 38% who oppose it. Regular folks are tired of watching their taxes fund lazy bureaucrats and broken systems while roads crumble and prices soar.
The fight proves cutting waste isn’t easy—every dollar wasted has someone fighting to keep it. But Belfort and Trump’s team vow to keep pushing until government works for taxpayers again. As Biden’s inflation rages, voters increasingly agree it’s time to stop the bleeding and save America from going broke.
