    Tbf, this does not preclude racism.

    That whole 21T waste number is ludicrous. Given that the annual DOD budget is around 600B, and even if you assume that half of that annual budget is lost in accounting or acquisitional waste (which is nowhere near possible) it would take over 60 years to accumulate 21 Trillion in lost/wasted funds. So anyone proposing this 21T be used to finance ANYTHING is either very dumb or lying. Or maybe I am racist.

    I'll be the first to agree that there's a TON of government waste in the way we budget and spend. However, just because we can't properly document the financial transactions doesn't mean they were wasted. We have years of doing business the wrong way to overcome. In the DoD, that's a lot of inertia to overcome. We're working with imperfect systems to come into compliance with the requirement for 100% auditability. It's remarkable how far we've come in such a short time. I'll have to dig into the audit results deeper, to better understand what it all means, but I doubt we're at the level of waste to fund anything close to universal healthcare.

    It looks like Larry David. Would he be dumb enough to have Bernie Sanders on the left and Larry David on the right? Was wondering if the guy in the back near the ref could be Alec Baldwin.

    I’m spending too much time thinking about this clearly.
    Looks to me like Woody Allen... with the black glasses and all.

    Heisman Trump is my favorite McNaughton. Also, as I've said before, I think McNaughton is in on the joke and I think Heisman Trump strongly indicates that. There's no way that guy painted it with a straight face. The painting is hilarious, I can absolutely see someone hanging this thing up as a joke.
    I've actually considered getting one for this very reason.

    you obviously don't read cougarboard often enough. there are hundreds of posters there, who, given a paint brush, could and would absolutely paint something like that with a straight face. i'm not going to put it past mcnaughton.
