You (and Bernie) don't know what you are talking about here. DoD is the most audited agency in the US Government. I spent 10 years in Defense procurement, five of which were as an auditor. It might interest you to know that it is DoD audits that identify the ridiculously priced items such as $1000 hammers, $10,000 toilet seats, and one of my favorites, $50 rivets. If all other agencies (treasury, state, DHS, IRS, Justice, etc) were audited at one quarter the rate of DoD, the cost of government could be reduced by at least 20% (My guess).
