Wait, so if the Defense misplaces $10 billion, it's likely going to a good cause, but if HUD misplaces a dime it was a waste of your money?

How could you just assume contracted weapons defense companies aren't pocketing government money and public housing isn't really building houses?

I never said they weren't pocketing money. I don't want to make them angry.

What's wrong with making the CEO of Lockheed Martin angry?

Why is it ok to make Arne Duncan cry?

They won't make us weapons anymore.

You got it backwards, son.

The weapon companies need us.  Not the other way around.  We have the power because without our money they have nothing.

If they stop making weapons for us, they have to shut down and file for bankruptcy.

If free trade and right to bear arms means selling nukes to our enemies and storing militia arsenals in billionaire's basements, then sign me up for trade law and gun control.
