The outrage over FEMA's use of taxpayer funds continues, but many are still wondering how we got to this point, and who allowed this to happen. This is the result of ideologically driven mismanagement from agency leadership.
Former FBI Special Agent told KTRH, "Overall, they're incompetent, careerists, or ideologues. Mainly leftists, who don't know how to run these agencies."
Gilliam says a lack of congressional oversight is also a major factor in this problem. He said, "All these different politicians, they fund these agencies. But nobody actually sits back and holds them accountable for what they're doing with the money."
This lack of accountability allows FEMA and other agencies, including those within the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, to request more and more money from Congress, only to turn around and waste it.
