Free and unaccountable money is a very dangerous thing. It gives the appearance of wealth and strength, but often hides vast mismanagement and corruption.
I have an ominous feeling that some day soon, American weapons systems (and much of what Fed.gov does) will not protect us or serve the people even in a basic way - and we will all come to a collective moment of realization when we ask "We spent $$ Trillion on that - with NO result?" We'll finally rip the lid off and see all the rot and worms hiding beneath the gilded surface.
