Most folks don't understand the army's push and LEAD in cost-saving. Folks want to harp on the $800 hammers, etc. Those things happen. But, with LEED certification in buildings, Lean/Six Sigma programs, Early Retirement options, Voluntary Separation programs - just to name a few - the Pentagon IS reducing costs. BUT - politicians pander to 'progressives' who lack the stomach to safeguard whatever freedoms they ALLOW us to have.Originally Posted by ConHog
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Exactly as I've been saying. OF COURSE the military needs to better job of being financially accountable, but there are limits to what can be cut.

Actually, every government depart DOES have things that can be cut. But you have to agree that defense is by far the most bloated of all agencies.

Actually, I wouldn't agree. I would argue that the State Department is the most wasteful of all.

HUD is right up there too.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Of course the CORRECT answer as to which government agency is the most wasteful would undoubtedly have to be CONGRESS.
