Trump Is Hurting the Pentagon! (By Giving It Too Much Money)

March 21, 2017

Anyone who’s been in the military knows what happens as the end of a fiscal year approaches: wild spending.

March 16, 2017

“Now, as nearly as I can make out, those fellows in the CIA don’t just report on wars and the like, they go out and make their own, and there’s nobody to keep track of what they’re up to. They spend billions of dollars on stirring up trouble so they’ll have something to report on. […]
