    We can obviously spend less on the military, but that’s not how OASDI is funded…

    You also don’t know anything about the military apparently

      They can free up that money and allocate it elsewhere.

      ETA Pentagon never passed an audit.

        How do you pass an audit while doing classified R&D?

        “Yes, and here we spent 10 million dollars on a project which we cannot confirm exists”

        That’s also how you end up with the Pentagon spending 10 million dollars on a single toilet. They bought more than the toilet, they’re just only willing to show you the toilet.
