DOD is one place to save our money

It seems that the GAO is continually pointing out areas where the Defense Department is wasting our money. Supplying aid to help Pakistan combat terrorism is the latest. They've given $5.56 billion to Pakistan over the last five years. Pakistan has been remiss in defining what was done for this money, proving that what they claimed to do was actually done and providing documentation that the bills were valid. Yet, until 2006 they had no problem writing the checks. It was then that the Office of Defense Representative to Pakistan, without the direction or approval of DOD, started checking things. In their latest round of checking they disallowed 22% of the bills that were presented.
