does it bother you that the defense budget has never passed an audit?

I hope that is one of the things that will change now.

Yes, something is very wrong.  Is there anything we can do about it?  Perhaps if American manufacturers were more diligent in pursuing Army contracts, and provided the military with good products at reasonable prices, we wouldn't have this frustrating situation.

i don't think that the cost guard deployes overseas anywhere....if they do then its news to me.  air force does deploy to iraq, usually with the army.  and navy does llllloooonnnnnggggg cruises which means being cooped up on a boat for months.  but i don't think they go to iraq unless they are docs for the marines.

tax increases, cuts in military and homeland security spending, wishy washy stand against terrorism, still nothing done about the border situation,and God only knows what else!

No.  They check them at random unless somthing is glaring at them.  Like giving more money to charity than the average guy.  That's how my bro got audited. But he had all his receipts so he was cool.

Because they don't want the American people to know exactly how much money the US is spending on the war and what they are spending it on.  I saw a "60 Minutes" story about how the US has "misplaced" $800 million in Iraq....

Bothers me a lot that our budget deficits are being bought like candy by every major asian power.  They take those IOU's, trade 'em for cash, and then by the shoes off our feet.  The more our government spends on useless wars and "homeland security", the more the Asians can buy us legitimately...funny how our war for oil is going to really screw us in that department in the long run.

The government does not audit particular kinds of claims, but returns in their entirety. The selection criteria for an audit depends more on how the information provided compares to other information the IRS already has. If there are inconsistencies, they initiate an audit.

The budget takes years to develop.  It started way before Bush was President, and yes Bush did add to it but it was already in a crises when Clinton was President.  As for asking a silly question as that maybe you should have been giving Clinton the BJ since you are so infatuated with it instead with the real facts.

P\nH\nE\nW\n\n......no I haven't - sounds like you have trust account issues or something embezzlement-ish??

There really isn't anything new in cost control. The problem is still to charge commitments as soon as they are made and not when the bill comes in. Having an accurate budget to charge against and limiting who can charge against a project.

Bush, Congress, Judiciary, Wealthy it does not matter. None of their family are there. And yes my Dad and uncles served in WW2, lost a cousin and many friends in Nam so I do know what war costs. I realize that the military is supposed to be one big happy family and I know that they would in fact do anything for one another.However, I believe the word was fraging? Killing your own leader to avoid battle. Happened in every war. Maybe instead we need to allow only the rich to fight in wars, maybe we wouldn't have so many.

Apparently it was never actually filed.  \n\nThere was some issue with the organization that claimed to have filed it.  Details here: http://www.wnho.net/njl_facts.htm
