The Pentagon spends hundreds of billions of dollars on weapons systems, but our troops still aren't getting what they need. It's a scandal of enormous proportions that involves deceptive corporations and complacent government officials. But the biggest problem of all is that the people in Washington who could fix it continue to ignore

  • What?! Why do we keep paying for throwing money into weapons programs?? they say its for "defense" but thats bullshit. we dont need to spend cash on this crap! What about the public school systems ??

  • I don't understand the massive need to invest in things that kill when they could invest in things that will heal. It's baffling to me. That amount of money could go into the water run car. It could help those who want to go to school. America doesn't have to be a superpower in order to have a powerful say in world goings on.

  • Good documentary! If America would expend some of its time and resources helping others in the World we wouldn't have so many enemies to fight for!

  • It's a sad fact that we spend far more money killing people than helping people.

  • Are we proof of being doomed to repeat history. Bureaucrocies will always feed on themselves and somehow manage grow on this obscene diet. Look at the romans. Their military industrial complex eventually ate the whole empire.

  • the problem is that instead of our money going to develop these machines its going back to our politics through defense lobbyist. First we have to buy back our politicians then we "might" be able to get our money back.

  • Completely disgusting.

    This shit has gone on for too long, and all this talk gets nowhere... Meanwhile, ANOTHER 162 BILLION dollars will be voted on, probably as early as today--

    CALL NOW to Oppose War Funding!

  • It's the sad truth, and nothing more. There's a reason why they are ignoring it; money.

  • If peace was as profitable as war, would governments kill for peace?

  • It's about time they're getting to the bottom of this... through more exposure and with more backbone, maybe someone up there on the hill can begin to do something about it. This administration and all underlings won't, however...they're making bookoos off of this waste...more polititians and lobbyist lackeys lapping up the life of luxury...

    What the money monitor said is true, that our members of congress don't want to appear weak on security, so they vote to give them the money, anyway...HELLLLOOOO..!!! Meanwhile, we're paying for killing machine systems that don't even work. This 'business as usual' attitude has got to change, and we voters are the only ones that can make it happen. We can make it happen by eliminating those who wish to allow this B.S. to continue, the ones who are doing nothing about it...

    We should be investing in PEACE..!!! Which, in truth, is more profitable than war, for 'We The People'...
