Fucking auditing by people who dont know what the military needs. ffs
I would rather buy oil from the Russians if we have to buy it at all
Yeah no
Don't know what you're getting at
Saudi's crude output is considerably higher than Russia's - we've also been trade partners with em since before the Cold War.
China is definitely a bigger problem than Russia. They're spreading all over the world
@Louis - Internal auditing - more from entities that understand the budget such as the IG
How the fuck would that work?
Oh you dont need that ammo right now
Saudi keeps its position at the top because of us knocking their rivals out of the game
You need a missle right now
but only one
Same way it normally does. Having a designated entity review the fiscal year budget allocations and determine which areas are irresponsibly spending to maintain their annual quota.
Thats called congress
Or it would be
So fail
Nah, this is more practical application. Alot of military orgs have departments that are provided with an annual budget. That org or unit will furiously purchase bullshit before the fiscal year close-out to ensure they receive the same quantity the following year.
Point is - you can absolutely increase internal auditing to ensure a healthy budget is being promoted
Having an audit every year would mean less research into expiremental tech and less stuff altogether
And we suffered for it
Mauser action? nope
Not so much - there's entire divisions dedicated to R&D. I would advocate for financing auditing agencies to reclaim lost funds. Could easily allocate that funding to more relevant projects, or scale back to other govt programs.
Single load
Cheaper because muh audit
This literally made the us less advanced than the rest of the world
When it was used
It's more like taking that 80K a Supply Battalion is dumping on last-minute bullshit to maintain their funding so it would be transferred to a forward deployed combat unit in need of equipment
I double checked and I couldn't find an accurate representation of our spending. However, I did see that on paper social security, medicare, etc. make up a chunk that odds are is bigger than deffence spending. One of the major problems is where all the money is actually going. Money is being siphoned out of social security to pay for everything else. Each of the major chunks of spending needs reform.
@Mersenne I agree the argument could be worded better. But its really simple. We're spending way too much. And that includes millitary. The fact stands that our millitary is larger than the next seven largest countries combined.
lol no\
More spending is required
You want to know why?
Because the americans have lost the will to fight hard wars
Not to be aggressive, but I would challenge you to provide a source stating that any military funds are being siphoned from social security
So every war needs to be easy for the us to win.
How could you possibly not think that the government wastes money just as badly in defense spending as it does in healthcare spending? That makes no sense
That's a separate social program that's strictly off limits to every other government pool of money.
