You’re missing the point.
Those things are corrosive to our culture and actually symptoms of the larger spending problems. You can’t see that?
Just wondering, what were your calculations on the total amount of ‘lost’ money and mismanaged money by the Pentagon and the Army? How about the cost of turning Navy ships around in mid course because some female who didn’t want to be part of a mission ‘accidentally’ got pregnant?
You got those numbers too? Mind sharing the total with us?
Thanks.
Sorry but all those savings from “waste” is mostly myth!
(And no I am not saying be wasteful!)
You could zero out the USG personnel payroll and nothing changes, off the cliff we go. Every year the percentage of discretionary spending, bullets, bombers, beans, hardware, etc. as part of the overall spending is smaller. Entitlements, interest on the debt, one-other-thing-that-has-slipped-my-mind (Anyway its a have to pay!) gets larger. This belief that Uncle Sucker can take care of you cradle-to-grave, as well as other things became our prevailing philosophy long before there was any cultural rot. You’re putting the cart before the horse.
