Some of those numbers are suspect. They want the number with the most zeros to impress. A lot of those contracts have a significant portion already paid out, so the actual savings is much less. I think the majority of people would agree to eliminate the contract without much issue, but it doesn’t work that way. I’m sure there is a lot more contracts in the DOD, but you can’t “shut it all down” while some made-up agency scans for keywords in contracts. Again, this is Congress not doing its job on multiple occasions.
So why not put all these wasteful contracts back into actually workers and boots on the ground instead of just blinding swinging away?
The general mentality is people do what they want and piss on the rules. I think there will be an increase of disrespect by users.
Because that simply is not what this is about. It's about vindictiveness, revenge, and pandering to a base that really likes to see others suffer more than they feel they are. Right out of the fascist playbook, pitting the working class against each other.
I think "Fascist" is the wrong word here. I definitely think there are better ways to go about trimming misappropriated funds but i think saying its "Fascist" is an overstep.
Other websites like USAspending.gov have additional info, although that site’s a bit of a mess. Hard to tell the total awarded for a particular multi year period.
It's obvious leadership in the Dept had the chance they chose not to. I am sure at some point it will. Once we have some adults making the decisions. 60k for A/V services for meeting...to bad its already been paid out...
Fascism is pitting the working class against each other...right straight out of the playbook.
These cuts will fix none of that. Let that sink in.
A Constitutional Cluster Farce of US citizen personal privacy of information intrusion and intimidation.
Bingo
Opposing echo chambers rending and gnashing past each other.
