Some of my friends are very upset that Elon Musk is looking at government finances. It’s illegal! What right does he have looking at computer records containing my personal data? What right indeed. Just how long will we taxpayers put up with a Federal Government that spends tax money without accountability? If not Mr. Musk, then who? So, I have a modest proposal for my friends who don’t think Mr. Musk should be involved in auditing government spending. Step up and offer your services? Just as an example, let’s take a look at the Pentagon, which receives, and spends, a large portion of our taxes.
“The Pentagon’s audit failures expose a $3.1 trillion black hole in unaccounted assets—78% of the federal government’s total. Contractors like Lockheed Martin manage F-35 spare parts worth over $220 billion without proper oversight. Meanwhile, defense contractors overcharge by 40-50% (or 4,451% in extreme cases), and the Navy found $4.4 billion in untracked inventory. The Audit the Pentagon Act would penalize failed audits by clawing back 1% of the budget, but unelected bureaucrats still prioritize backdoor deals over transparency. This isn’t just waste—it’s a national security crisis. Taxpayers deserve accountability, not endless excuses from the Deep State.”
I wonder how much we could increase Social Security checks if we had a fund containing 3.1 Trillion Dollars?
