Just taking that step is a good thing. It's ridiculous that it hasn't been done in the past, given it's size.

We should cut everything in half, and then have the audit.

Nice quip. So what goes? Specific targets or programs or an across the board 50% reduction in everything? What does your enlightened viewpoint tell us?

Only DOD?

Have responsible audits been performed at the other cabinet level departments?

And fraud or abuse in the welfare programs, the environmental agencies or the obama care organizations....?

I am all for the audit.

Yes, they all get audited. The GAO attempts to audit the DoD every year, but their financial management is so shoddy, the GAO can't complete an audit.
