Have a Big Idea?

The Dept of Defense cannot accurately account for its spending. Billions go missing. It is rife with mismanagement, cronyism (no bid contracts, kickbacks, etc.), boondoggles & conflicts of interest. 1) Fire the DOD's Inspector General for gross incompetence/negligence. 2) ELECT an accountable replacement. 3) Felony (jail time) for anyone engaging in, aiding or abetting in DOD malfeasance. 4) Significantly reduce privatization. 5) Limit Contractor pay like NIH does when it awards research grants.
