U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Gee Donnie, how come businesses are able to figure out how to manage WIC across 50 states with different rules? How come businesses can figure out how to manage taxes at a state (and sometimes local) level? How do distillers, brewers and vintners do business with different alcohol laws per state?
