The Pentagon’s bloated budget has remained nearly untouched. And shockingly, every year the Pentagon spends billions of dollars it does not even have to account for.1 Other federal agencies are required by law to account for how they spend taxpayer money, but the Pentagon ignores these rules and spends over $2 billion per day without real oversight. Thankfully, progressive champion Rep. Barbara Lee has written a bill to hold the Pentagon to the same basic transparency procedures and accounting standards as other federal programs. The Pentagon’s spending deserves the same careful scrutiny as other government programs. And if Congresswoman Lee’s Audit the Pentagon Act passes, Pentagon officials will face real consequences if they can’t account for their spending for the first time.
