      The sadder thing is we already pay more per capita for Healthcare than anyone else. We don’t even need any money from the pentagon to get everyone Healthcare. There’s enough already. We just need to end all the inefficiencies and profit taking and things like private insurance.

    A clear example of this is the F-35 program, which has gone over its original budget by $165 billion to build a plane tasked to perform many different tasks, none of which it does well.

    I tried to get an F-35 to clean my old apartment, it kind of worked at first but it burned down the apartment instead…

    Signs point to a future terrorist attack at the records building, and maybe at the building of the investigators too.

      Nah there is no reason anyone in the defense industry has to care one iota about records they probably didn’t keep, nor any investigators that ask questions. No one is going to enforce accountability. No one is going to lose their job. No one is going to mess up whatever gravy train they have going and no one in congress actually cares. That requires way too much work.

      It’s usually bags of money and pallets of equipment that go “missing” and find a new home with a warlord.

    Judge not, lest ye be judged. Who here hasn’t accidentally tipped a valet $1 trillion instead of $10? It’s happened to all of us at one time or another.
