the pentagon is almost certainly the biggest source of waste in the u.s. government over reuters investigation says since one thousand nine hundred six the pentagon has spent eight point five trillion dollars in taxpayer money that has never been accounted for and nobody can say for sure how many billions of that amount were wasted on goods and services that were never delivered on over payments to contractors and many other things what does congress do about it nothing and national security experts the mile serious here with me to help us crunch the these numbers even a really dollars on it can only use for a lot of money this is the kind of thing that you would think would bring capitol hill to a screeching halt they would be hearing this kind of almost daily you know various committees looking into it none of that just leads to massive waste and there could be all sorts of fraud that you don't know about just one example when the inspector general looked at iraq which was you know a lot of money but in the grand scheme just a portion of the money the u.

the pentagon has secured. three hundred thirty billion dollars budget for next year even though it's failed to account for the money that it's received since one thousand nine hundred six now a whopping eight and a half trillion dollars of taxpayer cash has gone to defense programs none of which have been audited the so-called black budget has sparked concerns over potential fraud as can reports. the pentagon is almost certainly the biggest source of waste in the u.s. government the reuters investigation says since one thousand nine hundred ninety six the pentagon has spent eight point five trillion dollars in taxpayer money that has never been accounted for and nobody can say for sure how many billions of that amount were wasted on goods and services that were never delivered on over payments to contractors and many other things what does congress do about it nothing and national security experts the miles here you see here with me to help us crunch the these numbers eight and a half trillion dollars on accou

well here's the way to think about the pentagon papers case without turning off your non lawyers or you know it's very simple what nixon tried to do is he tried to censor the new york times and later the washington post how did he try to censor them the sense of them by going into court and getting an order that you can't print you know it's. simple simple censorship what's interesting about it was the only time in american history that ever happened. during a bet it's not going to happen. well now use the fancy term it's actually called prior restraint when i first heard that term when i worked with went to the new york times i don't know what the heck admit it but it just means it just means censorship and so it's a case for the ages because the only time we have the case and the press one the government lost and the tests or the rule of law or whatever you want to call it the supreme court laid down is very hard to meet almost virtually impossible which means that i don't think it's going to ever happen again and i don't think that caseload would be overruled it's fast i mean if you

our pentagon correspondent barbara starr is joining us. barbara, what have you learned about this very controversial proposal? >> well, wolf, this would be a fundamental shift in the how military families buy their groceries. the commissaries have been a staple of military life for decades. and i want to run everyone through a couple numbers just so you see the scope of this program and why the pentagon is thinking about cutting it, believing they can save money. look at this. there are about 178 commissaries in the united states another 70 or so overseas. the groceries are discounted. a family of four saves about $4500 a year if they buy their groceries at the commissary rather than out in the commercial world. in the civilian world, and that adds up to about.6 billion a year compared to buying across the board in commercial stores. but here's the thing. the commissaries cost the u.s. taxpayer about $1.4 billion a year in tax dollars to run. so the pentagon calculation is, do they really need the commissaries? should they save that $1.4 b

after that falls on the pentagon. if the pentagon agrees that they need to come down, that it is also over, but the way the budget control act and sequestration works is that they take -- what the bill does is round that out. you still get at the end of the 10-year period. the same 500 billion dollars cut in defense, but the pentagon gets back 20 billion this year. host: you mean that would've been cut under the sequester guest: yes. first, they don't like the full 500 billion dollar cut. the president's request is for smaller cut. i'm sure there are generals and admiral's that don't want to be cut at all. the head of the army was a first that i heard was doing this. defense, chuck hagel and all the other top brass picked this up. we slowed us down, give us time to implement. you slam it all and is so fast, we're going to have to find short-term things like cutting trading. trading is important for troops. host: the numbers for fiscal 2014, the budget for that pentagon cap the to 520 billion. for 2015, they capped at

in the pentagon's budget is $67 billion a year that the pentagon spends that has nothing to do with defending this country. i put that report out in the hopes that the defense committee, senate armed services committee, would look at that report and say, we ought to take all of this out of the defense department. do you realize that the defense department has 112 science, technology, engineering and math programs run by the defense department. 110 separate ones. it doesn't have anything to do with defending the country. they have 138 green energy programs, spending billions of dollars every year on it. that should be at the department of energy, not in the pentagon. it costs $50,000 a year to educate a child on a military base in this country., four anda half times what it cost to educate anybody anywhere else in this country. that doesn't have anything to do with defending the country either. why? so you got $67 billion. not one aspect of that was acted on in the defense authorization act. not that was taken out and let's have the military defend this country, not do all these other things t

for the first time in two years, the pentagon should get real budgets of $500 billion a year instead of funded through continuing resolutions. it is also going to get $30 billion in sequester relief. and cut the cost of living adjustments by 1% for working age military retirees, in part to do so. d.o.d. however still faces $70 billion in automatic spending cuts over the next two years. and more cuts are likely as lawmakers work toward a broader deal to cut america's $13 trillion debt. meanwhile talks with iran with the nuclear program, to give it up, in exchange for repealing crushing sanctions could change the region's security dynamic as china raises tensions across the pacific by trying to enforce the claims to the east china sea. joining us today to discuss these issues and more are four of washington's top defense analyst, all of whom happen to be listed on defense news's 100 most influential people in u.s. defense. mackenzie eagland of the american enterprise institute. todd harrison for the center of strategic and budgetary asegments. gordon adams of the simpson center and ame

the pentagon's initiative is designed to drive down costs for the pentagon. numerous executives told me effectively it is reducing profit margin. some say it takes profit margins and cuts them in half. other states even worse than that. the kind of costs the acceable costs and often lower than what your real costs are. what has been the impact of better buying power on your business? >> we haven't seen that impact on the vertical lift programs. what i would say is we spent a lot of time understanding better buying power and understanding what is critical in terms of providing more for less. i think the two we just signed are great examples where we have come together as industry and said you can't expect to get paid the same price you have in the past. so what are you going do in order to be affordable and still be able to live to wall street and quite frankly that is a combination of factory renovations, it is a combination of increased productivity and inefficiencies as well as the earlier analogy to partner fog success and working with our teammates. the c
