With a staggering 1/3 of our national debt now due to fraud & waste at the Pentagon, I hope he'll send in an army of auditors to go through the books. That's if there are any books...

We spend 78x as much as Canada on defence, and to what end? Are we any safer...? No.

Not one single other candidate has even mentioned this (surprise surprise), so huge cheers to Bernie from me!
