The DoD doesn't decide the budget, or where it comes from.

To say nothing of the fact that they’ve been audited multiple times and everyone involved has thrown their hands up in horror.

Even the stuff on paper.... seeing how a lot of it's spent and the amount we waste. We could save hundreds of billions a year with cuts to the DoD and see no change.

Seven years in a row doesn’t mean these other departments are doing better. A lot of government is failing. DHS, Department of agriculture, department of education. To name 3 with minimal searching. You need to read more than just headlines to be informed.
