Wasting Billions of Your Tax Dollars

Even as the White House asks for an extra $80 billion for the Pentagon, Congress' investigative arm says the Defense Department is the most wasteful department in the federal government. The Government Accountability Office reports that 8 of the 25 most wasteful programs, policies, and offices are at the Pentagon. Comptroller General David Walker says DoD's failure to turn around poor management and wasteful programs "results in billions of dollars in waste each year and inadequate accountability to the Congress and the American taxpayer."
