Pentagon Has No Idea Where $800M Went
I understand folks getting upset because of either ~$800m worth of DoD incompetence or ~$800m of intelligence 'black budget' funds diversion.<p>But folks should not forget that the entire DoD spend in the 2015 federal budget was a mere $620.5b.<p>Compare that to Social Security + Medicare + Welfare. Those totaled $1,918.5b. That's 3x the entire Defense budget. That's where taxes are going.[1]<p>At least DoD has to field tanks and submarines and carriers. The other guys? They move money around for a living. Be more worried about the size and propensity for graft there.<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_States_federal_budget" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_States_federal_bud...</a>
