Natsec is how America gets things done
- 1cvmask 5y agoThe true spending for the national security budget is $1.25 trillion and not $725 billion. Whether you are for an increase or decrease of the budget it should be based on the actual true amount like how other countries measure it. For example nuclear weapons are under the Department of Energy's budget. https://www.pogo.org/analysis/2019/05/making-sense-of-the-1-25-trillion-national-security-state-budget/ https://www.pogo.org/analysis/2019/05/making-sense-of-the-1-...
- bediger4000 5y agoStop me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the US deliberately obscure a lot of the natsec spending? I mean, the DoD is so financially obscure it can't be audited. The "black budget" is partly a lump line item, partly hidden in other items. This has always seemed like a recipe for corruption to me.
