U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Trump on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Man who declared bankruptcy six times, bankrupted casinos, held the dubious distinction in the 1990s as the person who'd managed to lose more money than anyone, thinks that as president he should have a role in dictating economic policy, despite a system set up specifically to avoid that conflict.
Q: How big a role do you want to personally play in the decision by the Fed on interest rates?
TRUMP: Well, you know, I made a lot of money. I've been very successful. I think my role should be at least that of recommending.
