No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you'd think keeping the government accountable of their spending would be a generally agreed upon thing?
The government should be accountable for its spending.
People often misunderstand the problem with the Pentagon and accounting. A good example is around 9/11 an audit failed and people thought the money was 'missing' That 9/11 was to hide the missing money.
That is rubbish. The issue is they just can't properly account for it in all the systems. Nothing was 'missing'. they just couldn't get it to all line up to do crappy information systems and processes.
System A didn't talk to system B and things had to be moved over by hand, etc. Things were not properly coded, etc.
I fully support our military spending but the accounting for all of it is horrible.
I also hate government accounting. It confuses the average person. They see a coffee cup for 1200 and think the coffee cup cost 1200. Instead of realizing it was assigned a value based on the total project cost. That shouldn't be allowed either. Every item should be accounted for against it's true cost.
Bombing brown children and lining the pockets of the wealthy, that's where, but you know that.
That's where you want it to go instead of offering a better education to the children of this country, elevating people out of poverty, protecting/
enriching our environment, improving our fucking drinking water, etc.
Ya'll really are a bunch of clowns with your disingenuous confusion and bad faith arguments. Hate and fear run your lives.
