I agree with Tang. Way too much wasted money and fluff in the military budget. Actually there is way too much wasted money in all sectors of government, which is one reason why I don't understand why Tang puts so much faith in government. Government can't seem to do anything right.
Bureaucracy.
We have departments that were created by people who were never given authority by a vote. They were created by and thru legislators. That's the end of any representation we may have had in the creation of the cancer.
These people create law. They are nameless and faceless. They feed off you and are unwittingly supported by you.
A legislative law, like Dodd-Frank, at least has a name on it and can be traced. It was voted on by people you voted for.
A new law voted on in committee of appointed people who were appointed by other people who were appointed by a long dead legislator in a department long since unviable or duplicated to the umpth degree by other legislators or beaurcratic committees, is now too far removed from the people. The control has been shifted from a representative vote to an in-house self-contained entity bent more on justifying their existence than representing the people.
It is survival of the fittest turned on its head. It is cannibalism of resources and productivity preformed in the dark behind a curtain. And they will survive. At your expense.
And I don't have the answer to the very thing that has killed every civilization in history. Except one. And I doubt we have the will.
DRAIN THE SWAMP!
