View submission: Elon Musk can’t balance the budget

Military spending is the most corrupt and arbitrary, so I don't think that's a very good example of government efficiency. Another similar example of arbitrary markup are medical supplies: The exact same product can go for tens or hundreds of times as much if it's labeled for medical use, compared to say food-safe use. Best case scenario is this profit goes into the pockets of researchers who earned it by getting advanced degrees. But is that really where these huge markups go? I doubt it.
