It is outrageous to American taxpayers that the biggest tax guzzling agency of the Federal Government, the Defense Department is too incompetent or irresponsible to provide a thorough, yearly audit of the Pentagon's budget and spending practices. Every other agency in government and every other corporation in the private sector must pass a yearly audit to ensure proper accounting and uncover possible corruption. Everyone...but the Pentagon. This is totally unacceptable and indefensible. The President as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces is abdicating a basic responsibility of leadership by not enforcing this. And Congress is proving to be impotent in its obligation to oversight of the Defense Budget. This is not a suggestion, it is the law. Heads should roll over this disgrace.
