How much government fraud is really happening in Washington State — and how is it quietly affecting your taxes, housing costs, and quality of life?

In this episode, we break down what the data actually shows about Washington State government spending, transparency, and accountability. Using publicly available records, real numbers, and recent reporting, we examine where billions of dollars are going, why budget deficits persist despite record revenue, and how policy decisions ripple directly into housing affordability and everyday expenses.

We also unpack major stories shaping Washington State right now — from tax increases and public records legislation to housing supply, mortgage rates, and the so-called “lock-in effect” keeping homeowners from selling. If you’ve ever wondered why prices stay high, why inventory feels frozen, or why promises from policymakers don’t seem to match outcomes, this conversation connects the dots.

This isn’t about headlines or partisan spin. It’s about understanding the systems that impact Washington State residents — whether you own a home, rent, run a business, or are deciding if staying in Washington State still makes sense.
