One reason, perhaps the main reson, the Pentago is the biggest chunk is because they are also the most wasteful government agency in extance. September 10, 2001 Rumsfeld announced an audit showed almost 3 TRILLION had disappeared from Pentagon budget. Of course 9-11 hit and that was never discussed again. I think it was at the end of O-bomb-a time and another 3+trillion was missing but then Donald Trump joined the GOP race and all eyes were focused on him. The waste, and corruption in the first 2-3 years in Afghanistan and Iraq was something to the tune of $800 thousand a month.

And all government agencies are wasteful. The food stamp program is really no better even though it is a smaller budget and I saw that with my own eyes working in convenient stores. But they are NEVER held accountable and wat the end of the Bush erea the feds started rewarding private businesses for conducting themselves with the same element of corruption, and mismanagement with all the bailouts the O-bomb-a administration carried on with.

Sure wish folks would wake up.

Voting for Libertarian candidates is the only thing that will stop this war machine

Indeed, the Democrats are the party of taxes.
