    Do you trust DOGE to do that? We've already documented that they are highly partisan

    Which poster is against an actual DoD audit? Hell I’d even be conceptually in favor of a doge audit of DoD had they started there and not already revealed their complete political hackery.

    Do you have someone qualified to do that? You acknowledged that DOGE and djt are not honest or forthcoming with all the data.

    Maher and Stewart criticizing and mocking the Democrats isn't new, and that Stewart interview is from 2023. Some Democrats get irritated by it, but it's kind of refreshing in this political climate when people are willing to critique and ask the hard questions of their own side.

    Not my talking point
    I want massive govt entities to be accountable for the trillions of dollars of tax payers money they spend.
    While do think there are some roaches scurrying I think most of it is mismanagement on a ridiculous scale.
    The roaches who used taxpayer money for is seemingly political pet projects are minor and a drop in the bucket( still needs to be cleared out) but the bigger issue is something like DoD with a 4 trillion dollar budget not passing an audit in 7years. And we are supposed to be ok with that?

    I don’t want Trump or DOGE to be forthcoming with all the data. This is the DoD. I want them to force the DoD to be accountable for the monies they have taken. Did has had seven years to do this and hasn’t … and no one seems to care. Sonic it takes and Trump and DoGE forcing the pentagon to get their act together… so be it.

    Well right now G8tr Gr8t seems to be sure that any audit done with Trump or DoGE in charge is only done for retribution and also.. won’t be accurate because it will be Trump and musk doing it. ( and not 100s of auditors working on it at once.
    My whole point to this ridiculous discussion was that the DoD acts like the excuse.. oops we don’t know where that money went.. is acceptable and I mentioned that that would not fly for John QPubkic. Now GG here has jumped in and claimed that this audit is just for retribution( even though the DoD has had to do one for the last seven years) and that.. TRUMP and DOGE!
    To be clear.. I never brought up Trump or DOGE, didnt mention Piiconor Rox News ( all G8trGr8t) and don’t really care about any of them. I just want major govt entities to be held accountable. The DoD has had seven years of failed audits. Seven years of mismanagement of our taxpayer funds. It’s well past time for them to be held accountable.

    The people screaming loudest about “accountability” in military spending were in favor of invading Iraq and probably think invading Gaza is a fantastic idea too.

    I’m not ok with govt failing audits, but at least they acknowledge the issue. When an autocrat takes over it’s all graft and no serious audits happen. Autocrats never fail an audit. You think that’s because there is no graft?

    DOGE and djt aren't interested in accountability
    It's why you know politico numbers but not Fox.
    That should be obvious to anyone not blindly loyal

    Do you trust DOGE and djt to do an honest audit? Yes or no

    See I don’t want to make this Trump bs.
    I never claimed that Trump is the answer. Certainly not musk.
    All I have said and asked for is that the DoD ( and any other agency taking massive amounts of money from the taxpayers) be held accountable. Dod has had seven years. Far far past time.

    Dude
    We are done discussing. When you can’t see past your hatred for Trump to carry on a conversation that doesn’t even need to include him.. it’s not worth the time.

    Funny. You ask yes or no questions and they get answered yet you can't do the same
    I hate liars thieves criminals regardless of their name or political affiliation. Djt and Musk check all the boxes so they qualify
    You are supporting a review by djt and his partisan hatchet men. How would you propose to vibrate the discussion?
    I agree an hinest audit and real reforms needs to happen
    Do you believe doge is qualified to do that?

    How can it not include him when he is the President and apparently their idea of an “audit” is a keyword search of programs that “sound woke” and then to dismantle the whole thing? It’s all an obvious distraction ploy.

    I think they could deploy some modern inventory management which may aid the DoD, but at this stage they are not being honest actors.

    You didn’t ask a yes or no question just kept railing against Trump and musk which isn’t the discussion.

    What do you believe to be the root causes of the inflation?
    Covid
    Massive injection of liquidity
    Of these, what % of the liquidity injection was approved by whom?
    Can you have an honest discussion of the facts?
