And your point is? a audit was done and it found bookkeeping deficiencies, irregularities and errors, right? The Pentagon accounting was so screwed up they are now calling for a reliable audit?
You proved nothing of your claims. Prove that Bernie said that the Pentagon needs to be audited at that town hall. And prove that Trump does not want the Pentagon audited. That was your challenge and so far you have nothing just like I predicted.

Yes, a reliable audit has not been done. It hasnt been properly audited.
From the Fox town hall:
Quote:
Sanders was critical of U.S. defense spending, saying the U.S. military budget was bigger than the next ten countries’ combined.
“We’re now spending over $700 billion a year on defense,” he said.
Sanders said he agreed that “we need a strong defense,” but questioned why the Pentagon was “the only major agency of government that has not undertaken or completed a major audit.”
Very few people doubted that there was “a massive amount of waste and overruns,” he said.
“I support a strong defense, but I don’t support, you know, waste and profiteering within the military-industrial complex.”
Interesting social experiment here. Almost nobody can even answer the original question without getting into petty arguments. I support an audit but I do believe they have been before and failed with zero consequences.
There have been random checks on this or that but as you point out, nothing gets changed and no one is held accountable.

There should debate when a Bernie bot is spreading fake news and based on that starts a bogus poll. He can not prove Bernie said it at the town hall and no way can he prove that Trump does not want a audit. What amazes me is people actually voting on that bogus poll.

Facts show there was a Pentagon audit so Bernie does not have a clue what he is talking about. There was even suggestions from the auditors on how the Pentagon can trace their spending. One thing the auditors did find was appropriations traveled through several different branches through the Penatgon until no one could figure out where or what the money was spent on.
Does it matter. No, the people and our leaders will never do a dam thing about it.
You still have the claim of Trump being against the audit of the Pentagon, batter up.

I do, but what else can one say to someone intent on lying to make points?
