$285 BILLION in waste and fraud by the Pentagon over three years--
where is the outrage?
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/20/us/politics/20data.ht...

"A Pentagon study in January found that it had paid $285 billion in
three years to more than 120 contractors accused of fraud or
wrongdoing."

That's real money, folks.

When the deficit hawks have cut AT LEAST $100 billion from the pentagon
budget, MAYBE THEN they can look at other government spending-- other
spending that tends to HELP people instead of blowing people up.
