A reform of our socialistic Procurement system would go a long way to reducing costs but, AND I BLAME BOTH PARTIES FOR THIS, theses reforms would be job killers in too many places for congressmen to risk their re-election.

Waste is a tricky term, Easily the most wasteful government spending in the last 50 years was the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Where are those WMD? As Bad as that was, the fat dumb and happy in America didn't realize they'd be paying for it FOREVER. The interest on that debt is now approaching the cost of the war and is infinite until someone decides to pay for it. Trump's communistic pandemic bribes were the second, again what's the plan to repay it? The fat, dumb and happy were all to happy to take the money and often work on the side and now whine about the economy not taking into account their culpability in it. Are instant gratification maga types too coddled to stand in a soup kitchen line?


Russia just approved a 142 billion dollar defense bill, China 230 Billion, why are we spending so much more? If capitalist economic THEORY is correct, we should be spending less. What's the Budget for the Taliban? I tried to find out but I guess they aren't very transparent. If the fact the Taliban fought to a draw doesn't lead you the conclusion that the pentagon needs an overhaul,consider yourself one of the fat dumb and happy.

because of all the mistakes they've admitted they've made already. they've lost all credibility by your estimation, why do you support them?

Because DODGE was never about waste, fraud and abuse. Those were code words to denote programs and agencies they don't like.

Everything is being done in accordance with what Putin wants.
Must wreck NATO, SEC, Stock Market, US Dollar. Create disruption to the global economy. Introduce the corruption to save the day. All hail!!

So I'll go out on a limb here and guess you are FOR waste fraud and abuse.

You certainly have made it clear that you'd be comfortable in taking three to four decades to cut things

And you've spoken nothing to make me change said opinion.

Wouldn't ya all agree this is just a waste of time? We all have our own views. No one, or no ones actions is going to change this. This thread proves that.

You can read anything you want on the internet. But you really don't know if its even true.

Why not spend our time one something more productive or at least worth while.
At this point we have no idea how its gonna pan out. Good or bad.

He quotes Elg and Brazil defends his position. Ever hear that Carly Simon song... what's it called ???

Nonpartisan investigation from either side would never happen.

CPL how did Elg's post address the hate for Elon, other than you just hate Elon because he's successful?

It's really interesting the hate for him. You should all stop watching MSNBC.

The guys trying to help out and everyone attacks him.

Curious what you actually think his ends game is that makes you all hate him so much.
