As usual, you are woefully misinformed.
The U.S. military is good at fighting wars, but it sucks at managing money. Partly because of its convoluted bookkeeping systems, $8.5 trillion—yes, trillion—taxpayer dollars doled out by Congress since 1996 has never been accounted for.

Senior defense officials suppressed a study documenting $125 billion worth of administrative waste at the Pentagon out of fears that Congress would use its findings to cut the defense budget, the Washington Post reported late Monday.

Also, I'll happily bet you $100 that Trump's budget will not pass as written. I'll even go anywhere up to $10k on the bet. Put your money where your mouth is.
