OR-Sen: Ron Wyden (D) Says It's Time To Audit The Pentagon

DailyKos:

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Ron Wyden (D. OR):

Right now, we are debating increasing spending for the Department of Defense in the U.S. Senate.

At more than half a trillion dollars, we spend more on defense than China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, the United Kingdom, India, and Germany – combined.

What does all that hard-earned money pay for? Here’s the problem: We don’t really know -- and what we do know is often troubling. Pentagon spending has never been audited, and it’s time for that to end.

I’m proposing an amendment to this year's defense bill that requires an audit of the Pentagon, to make sure taxpayers are getting what we pay for. 

Add your name right now as a supporter: Tell Congress it’s time to audit the Pentagon!

Together, we can hold the Pentagon and defense contractors accountable.
