[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good. Money losing ponzi scams that provide horrendous ROI.  It is absolutely irresponsible that discussions around reforming and cutting SS/medicare refuse to take place, because they're going to bankrupt the country.[/quote]

I'd be happy to talk about Social Security and Medicare right after we have the discussion on the defense budget. We spent $320 million a DAY in Afghanistan for 20 years. Has there been any public discussion of pulling back or meaningfully re-programming those funds.

And periodic reminder: The Pentagon has never passed an audit.

I have to agree.  There needs to be much more scrutiny applied to defense spending.  Those numbers are huge and I’d guess (but don’t know) that a big percentage is essentially corporate welfare that goes to defense contractors.

I remember the scandal about the cost of the toilet seat (?) and then there is the plane that someone has been developing for years and can’t fly.  Am sure there are others better versed than I on the details.  And then also the intelligence budget, which has no oversight apparently. [/quote]
