Between Musk and Trump, this will be a golden era of nonsensical economic policy and white collar crime.

@ItalianJew With a trillion dollar yearly budget and multiple levels of classification that make it difficult for accountants to get information about certain line items without a conversation with a select few generals and admirals, it makes sense that the Pentagon has difficulty running an audit. There literally isn't a comparable organization in the world.

Apples and oranges. America isn't a developing country with stagflation.

@nmeau What no one talks about the Nordic model is the extreme use of illegal immigrants as labor who get low wages and none of the generous government benefits that they partly fund.

I can't tell if this is a joke or a serious MAGA belief.

@ItalianJew It's time-consuming. For Walmart, the accountant calls a store, and a bookkeeper gives the information. In the military, you will have to give your commanding officer contact another commanding officer to have the employee share the information. Meanwhile, the branches have different accounting standards, and they have digitized records at different rates. The audits get more accurate the further away the military gets from when they keep physical instead of digital documents. Honestly, social security and medical fraud are much bigger issues.

@mamaw4732 Can you honestly tell me that cutting most income taxes can result in a functioning government by 20%-60% tariffs?
