For sixth year, Pentagon fails to account for over $3T
For sixth year, Pentagon fails to account for over $3T
As the White House requests over $100 billion for wars in Israel and Ukraine, the Defense Department continues to operate with little to no oversight of its spending practices

but remember, we cant afford healthcare for humans. thats a nickle too far.
68The sadder thing is we already pay more per capita for Healthcare than anyone else. We don't even need any money from the pentagon to get everyone Healthcare. There's enough already. We just need to end all the inefficiencies and profit taking and things like private insurance.

If a single individual on government assistance was unable to account for $300 we would hear so much outrage from the media on it alongside vocal demands to slash the welfare budget. Yet when a government agency that has "never passed a comprehensive audit" just gives a
when asked to account for the bulk of their $3 trillion budget, the response is apparently to just...give them more money?Why are the politicians responsible for this (and I'm sure there are quite a few of them) not in constant fear for their lives right now?
24Because material conditions are consistently hovering juuust above revolt levels. If we want a massive sweeping change, shit will get worse first. People will demand change, but I believe a large portion of society will have to be starving and on the streets before we consider movement that actually does anything to change the status quo, due to the risk of death.

That’s $385 for every person on earth
20A clear example of this is the F-35 program, which has gone over its original budget by $165 billion to build a plane tasked to perform many different tasks, none of which it does well.
I tried to get an F-35 to clean my old apartment, it kind of worked at first but it burned down the apartment instead...
19I'd say it makes sense to assume the worst. $3T used for the darkest acts meant to maintain power and fortunes.
14It's usually bags of money and pallets of equipment that go "missing" and find a new home with a warlord.

Signs point to a future terrorist attack at the records building, and maybe at the building of the investigators too.
13Nah there is no reason anyone in the defense industry has to care one iota about records they probably didn't keep, nor any investigators that ask questions. No one is going to enforce accountability. No one is going to lose their job. No one is going to mess up whatever gravy train they have going and no one in congress actually cares. That requires way too much work.
11yep. and if theyre reporting this much, imagine what they got away with not reporting.
