can we build a better world?

What if we did something crazy like cut the defense budget by 10% ( they could handle it because the lose billions and don't have clue where it goes)and spent the money on an auditing arm of government (perhaps the CBO or GAO) that sought out waste and corruption in the whole of govt. and they had real power to audit and real punishments were handed out.

Undoubtedly there would be a great deal of savings found in cleaning up these budgets.

The idea here is to get programs to focus on their missions. If the waste and corruption re caught and the money is spent on more hospital beds or more money inthe classroom , loans , armor for the troops.
