Pentagon bureaucrats torch $2 million of taxpayer money every minute. In honor of @DOGE, I'm launching @dogevsblob, a meme contest highlighting the biggest gov't spender + waster. We're giving away 1,000 @dogecoin a day. If anyone can slash the Pentagon budget, @elonmusk can. Let's support him.

For example, the U.S. is planning to spend $2,000,000,000,000 on new atomic bombs. Our current arsenal has the explosive power of 66,000 Hiroshima bombs. Seems like a job for @DOGE @dogevsblob
American weapons programs need to be completely redone. The current strategy is to build a small number of weapons at a high price to fight yesterday’s war. Unless there are immediate and dramatic changes made, America will lose the next war very badly.

Something Steve Bannon and I agree on: “The defense budget is an obscenity and must be cut.” @Bannons_WarRoom
Bannon: I’m a hawk, not a dove. I believe in strong defense, in peace through strength. But the cuts have to start there. It’s not coming from social security or Medicare. Anyone saying entitlements are on the table is lying.

Thanks for the thoughtful conversation.
@dogevsblob @scotthortonshow @weeksjf @KymRobinson80 @ArmchairW Ben, Thanks for your project Doge VS Blob, I work for Scott at The Libertarian Institute (Smedley D. Butler Fellow for Military Affairs) where you and he had a conversation on 23 January about the Pentagon Blob. I blog on military excess, malpractice & stupidity four-five times a week on the Institute Blog. Take a listen to my "Fixing Fight Club" series on my WarNotes podcast.
