A great guy but no more informed than what you’ll find in VFW hall across the country.
Is Musk and the DOGE able to audit the Pentagon without some DoD or Congressional authorization?

I’m not sure about that. He is educated above average, plus being involved in the news business, he has to be pretty well informed about what’s going on in the world in general, and our country especially.
For 3.5 years, I worked for a Pentagon agency and could show precisely where the $800k I spent yearly for the unit went. I think 90 percent of organizations could do that.
A simple way to solve the problem, just cut the budget by the amount not able to be accounted for each year.
Simple fix. Cut their budget every year by the amount they can’t account for the previous year.
They made progress. The found a missing comma on a spreadsheet.
Lol
Before posting you might want to check the bio of your target, You could not be more wrong if you were trying. Someone posted a comparison of the last 10 Defense Secs. He is better qualified then any of them wore considering they were all products of the Military Industrial complex. Hegseth was an infantry officer with front line combat experience in modern war. He is exactly who DOD needs in charge
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
If we want to fix something we don’t put one of the clowns who broke it back in charge,.
Pete Hegseth should fired every single officer (even flag officers) responsible for those failed audits.
Every year they dodge accountability is considered progress.
He’ll need deputies, Chester, Newly AND Festus. He chases the bad guys out of Dodge, and they crunch the numbers.
Failed to provide sufficient information to auditors to form an accurate opinion.
New car
New home
New squeeze
Fat wallet
Republicans campaign on being fiscally conservative.
Why on earth would the Republicans keep funding a government agency that fails 7 audits in a row?
That is the definition of insanity.
Where’s the lie?
The Secretary sets policy. The deputies and staff perform the tasks. The Secretary can enforce good work place practices.
From the article: “This year, the audit cost the Defense Department $178 million and involved some 1,700 auditors
Average salary then of the 1700 auditors was $104.706. Simple math. For that amount the audit should have defined the specific problems so immediate corrective action could be taken.
He needs to assign a senor general (not eligible to retire for several years)to the task and empower him with the authority and resources he requires to make it happen.
Tell him at the outset if DOD fails the next audit he will receive a general discharge.
That’s not just Hegseth. Ramaswamy and Musk are going to help.
“YAY. We only failed slightly less than usual.”
“YAY. Our policies are working. More people are on welfare than ever.”
Government maffs
Relax. The eighth audit should do the trick.
It’s that “progress” BS that costs so much. Too much social engineering going on in the military.
Someone is stealing. Find and arrest them.
He is going to clean house big time!!
