The U.S. House of Representatives has advanced the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a massive $883.7 billion defense budget, despite the Pentagon failing its seventh consecutive audit. The bill passed with bipartisan support, as 81 Democrats joined 200 Republicans to approve the measure...
This latest defense package has drawn significant criticism from lawmakers and advocacy groups who point to the Pentagon’s history of financial mismanagement, the influence of the military-industrial complex, and controversial provisions embedded within the bill.
The Pentagon has consistently failed to meet federal audit requirements since it was first legally obligated to do so in 2018. The Department of Defense (DOD) announced last month that it had failed its seventh audit in a row, continuing a trend that critics say highlights pervasive inefficiencies. According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Pentagon suffers from “pervasive deficiencies in the department’s business processes, internal controls, financial reporting, and financial management systems.” - Nation of Change
