I agree with the sentiment, but there are legitimate changes in purchasing/budgeting that could _actually_ impact the budget (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/the-end-of-t...). Better reporting on egregious kickbacks like this might lead to more repercussions for the Congresspeople in question, that'd be one of the best ways to trim the fat on the Pentagon budget.

Ye olde "if we don't spend it we don't get it next year" mindset certainly doesn't help.
