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 EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

So that's how Alex Karp was able to afford his $120 million, 3,700-acre Colorado monastery.
The Trump administration has awarded Palantir a no-bid contract to build an AI system intended to prevent "SNAP fraud," among other things.
The no-bid contract is for the implementation of the National Farm Security Action Plan and includes "security checks" on SNAP applicants.
