Local & Federal Financial Mismanagement
Recently, former Chairman of Delaware County Council, Wally Nunn, recorded a podcast with Gary Heasley, host of the radio show The Conservative Voice, and Felice Fein, guest host. They discussed how the Delaware County Council and Chester County Commissioners use our tax dollars like Looney Tunes Monopoly money. It’s not unlike how the federal government accumulated so much debt over the years. Keystone Fair Business Partners’ President, Christopher Glover, Gary Heasley, and radio co-host, Ada Nestor, also sat down with Catherine Austin Fitts, who served as the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) assistant secretary under President George H. W. Bush and is the President of Solari, Inc. and publisher of the Solari Report. Catherine outlines how the federal government also likes to play Looney Tunes Monopoly with our tax dollars.
Delaware County Monopoly Revenue
As we’ve outlined previously, Delaware County Council created a budget for 2025 that increased spending and increased taxes to pay for it. Was there even a thought of decreasing county expenses or increasing revenues in some way other than taxes? Oh, they thought about the revenue aspect! In the clip below, Wally Nunn explains how Delaware County used Monopoly money to create revenue to fill a gap in this year’s county budget!
Chester County Monopoly Expenses
Like Delaware County, the Chester County administration seemed to think cutting expenses was an impossibility in creating the 2025 budget. Why should they even try? Chester County is one of the wealthiest in the commonwealth, so taxpayers can afford those tax increases, right? Watch the clip below to find out how Chester County tried to sell taxpayers on the need for a tax increase with fear. They might as well be using Monopoly money with all the spending they are doing!

Federal Government and No-Rules Monopoly
As children, we often made up our own rules when playing Monopoly, like collecting money when landing on free parking. However, as adults, we try to play by the rules because the penalties often outweigh the rewards. The threat of “Go to jail. Go directly to jail,” from a higher authority is usually enough to make people follow the rule of law. However, what happens when the higher authorities don’t follow the rules they themselves set?
Gary Heasley, Ada Nestor, Christopher Glover and Catherine Austin Fitts discussed a variety of topics in a podcast, but they started off talking about the laws surrounding the management of our tax dollars. But, who is ensuring that the management is being done correctly? Do we trust Congress to do that? Is it up to “We the People” to monitor? Because, it sounds like the federal government made up their own rules too! Click on the clip below to hear about it!
Catherine Austin Fitts continues the conversation from the first clip to tell us how to push the government to follow the financial management laws and who can do it. Click the clip below to learn about it.

Bottom line…
The game of Monopoly was always fun when we were winning, but as we neared bankruptcy it seemed like torture! Whether it’s the local or federal government playing with our Looney Tunes Monopoly money, it seems that the tax payers are nearing bankruptcy. Who is going to force the players to follow the rules? What are you willing to do to stay out of the poor house?
As the Constitutional Convention ended in 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked if the delegates produced a monarchy or a republic. Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
