Bernie Sanders, Elon Musk, and DOGE Demand Accountability After Pentagon's 7th Audit Failure
Dec 1, 2024, 05:45 PM
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has publicly agreed with Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on the need for greater accountability in Pentagon spending. This comes after the Pentagon failed its seventh consecutive financial audit, raising concerns about mismanagement within its $886 billion budget. Sanders emphasized the importance of addressing waste and fraud in defense spending, noting that only 13 senators opposed the defense budget last year. The call for an investigation into the Pentagon's finances reflects bipartisan support for increased fiscal responsibility in government operations.
