A Billion Here, a Billion There

I saw this over at Balta.

Wired News reports that the Pentagon is spending upwards of $20 billion dollars a year just to figure out where all the money is going. If that's not enough of a joke, then maybe this is: they still don't know.

This kind of stuff really pisses the shit out of me. If anyone so much as dares to question the Midas like budget for "defense," they're immediately labeled as essentially a fifth column for Al Qaeda. Yet the morons running this exercise in national socialism apparently can't be bothered by things like routine accounting. No wonder we spend over $400 billion dollars on the military, yet they still can't properly equip (or, sometimes, even pay) our soldiers.

Makes you wonder who really is "soft" on defense.
